Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices low-carb bread
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons low-carb sweetener
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or almonds
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Spread the cream cheese onto half of the low-carb bread slices and cover each with another slice to form sandwiches.
Cut the sandwiches into cubes or triangles and arrange them in the greased baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, low-carb sweetener, and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread in the baking dish, ensuring all the pieces are soaked.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans or almonds evenly over the top of the dish.
Gently press down on the bread to ensure it soaks up the egg mixture.
Baste the top with melted butter to add flavor and help the nuts toast.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the egg mixture has set.
Allow cooling slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb baked French toast warm, perhaps with a side of fresh berries or a low-carb syrup.
