Packed with protein-rich eggs and creamy low-fat ricotta cheese, this unique twist on traditional French toast combines a hint of vanilla and a dash of cinnamon for a comforting, guilt-free start to your day. Sweetened with a granulated sugar substitute, itโs perfect for those following a low-carb or ketogenic lifestyle. Ready in just 10 minutes and cooked to golden perfection, this custard-like dish is effortlessly crafted in a single skillet, making it both delicious and convenient.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, low-fat ricotta cheese, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar substitute until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Preheat a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter or lightly coat the surface with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and spread it evenly to cover the surface. Allow it to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to firm up.
Using a spatula, gently flip the egg mixture like an omelette and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until both sides are fully cooked to a light golden-brown color.
Transfer the cooked custard to a plate and let it cool slightly.
Optionally, sprinkle more cinnamon or a tiny bit of sugar substitute on top for additional sweetness. Serve warm and enjoy your toast-less French toast!
