Whoever said too much of a good thing…is an idiot. Seriously. If it’s really good can there ever be too much? And if it’s Smart Points friendly? Even better!
Remember the infamous The Original Weggo episode from a few weeks ago? Our friend with the chickens who refused to lay a few months ago must have done some chatting up with the girls. They are laying so often now that she is looking for egg takers. Me, me, pick me!
With this sudden plethora of eggs we are making up stuff to make up. Omelettes, egg mugs, deviled eggs, more Weggos. And this time Weggos with bacon. Come on, you can’t go wrong with bacon! You already know of my husband’s obsession with french toast, I knew he would love this one. And he did. And he already asked if we can have it again tomorrow. Winner!

Literally the easiest and most fluffy french toast you've ever made. And if you will be patient and let the waffle iron heat up before you spray it, the easiest to clean up too!
Ingredients
- 1 slice day old lite bread (I use Nature's Own Whitewheat)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup egg whites
- 1 Tbsp fat free ricotta cheese (if you can't find fat free add 1 SP for part skim ricotta)
- 1/8 cup Sugar Free Syrup
Instructions
- Start the waffle iron to heat according to instructions while you get everything else ready.
- Liberally spray both sides of the waffle iron and then the bottom of the slice of bread.
- Place bread on the bottom griddle and lightly press the middle with a spoon to just barely indent and evenly spread the ricotta.
- Then carefully crack egg in the center of the slice and then add egg whites around the edges to make sure the bread is completely saturated and the whole egg is "contained" in the middle. Don't worry if some runs down, it's all going to cook. Sprinkle with the crumbled bacon (optional) and close the top.
- Let cook for approximately 5 minutes or until you can smell the yumminess.
- Gently lift the top a little to check and if the egg is set you are ready to go.
- Gently open completely (if it needs a little help letting go gently poke with a spatula) and unplug the waffle iron. Wiggle a spatula under the bread and try to lift out in one piece. I was actually surprised how well it all held together...even the parts that had oozed off the bread! I added 1/8 cup of sugar free syrup for zero points or if you'd rather have 1/4 cup it's only 1 SP more!
- Turn to your spouse, child, or whatever witness you have handy who is standing their with mouth gaping because you are now a hero.
