Eggplant French Toast

A simple and low carb breakfast for those looking for an alternative to using bread in their diets.  

Ingredients: 

• 1 small eggplant
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• Dash nutmeg
• 1/16 t Stevia or 1 teaspoon of honey

Directions:

1. In order to make this French toast, cut the top and bottom stem from eggplant and cut the eggplant in half length-wise. 
2. Cut long strips of eggplant, as thin as possible so the eggplant will cook easily.  
3. In large, flat surfaced bowl mix the eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg and sweetener. Dip the eggplant slices in and let soak a couple minutes while the frying pan heats up. 
4. Use a non-stick spray, oil or butter to coat the skillet you will be using to fry these in and cook 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and eggplant is not quite so stiff. 

 Note: You can serve these with honey on top or heated syrup or just fruit.
