Aunt Rocky’s French Toast on Microwave Flax Bread

Spray 2 microwavable containers the shape you want for your bread (something approximately the size of a regular slice of bread).

Melt coconut oil (or butter) in medium mixing bowl. Add eggs and whisk well.

Add all other ingredients and stir until everything is well blended. Pour into microwaveable containers.

Microwave one at a time on high for 1 minute and 10 seconds. Bread will spring back when touched in the middle, if it’s done. If not, go another 10 seconds or so.

Turn out immediately onto a wire rack to cool. Leaving it in the baking dish will make the bottom soggy from the moisture. As soon as the bread is cool enough to handle, slice in half horizontally, and leave slices on rack to cool while you prepare the batter and the pan.

In a flat bottom dish a little larger than a slice of the flax bread, whisk all of the batter ingredients until well blended.

Spray a pan with cooking oil (I use a large square griddle pan that holds 4 slices of bread), and heat the pan.

Dip one slice of the flax bread at a time in the batter, carefully turn it over and dip the other side. Allow the excess batter to drip back into the dish. Place the battered bread on the hot pan. Repeat with remaining bread.

Cook side one until it is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side.

Serve each slice with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and sugar free syrup. I use Walden Farms Syrup because it is zero carbs. If you use a different brand, be sure to add the appropriate number of carbs.

Note: This bread does not come out tasting cheesy. The cheese keeps it from being crumbly and makes it pliable. I cook them in 5-inch Le Creuset pans, and they turn out beautifully.
