TOAST-LESS FRENCH TOAST - SOUTH BEACH PHASE 1

Steps:

• Warm a small frying pan over medium heat with 1 TBS of butter or spread. If using unsalted spread, I recommend adding the tiniest bit of sea salt - it gives the outside a nice complimenting flavor.
• Combine egg, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a bowl - use a fork to whip together.
• Once butter or spread starts to bubble, pour in the egg mixture.
• Once the egg is mostly cooked on the bottom, use your chef skills to flip it out of the pan and over (one large pancake shape is the ultimate goal). If you aren't a chef (and I'm not either) do your best to get it over in one piece.
• Once firm, it is done.

CHICKEN AND EGGPLANT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Turn the eggplant over and mist again. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garlic. Broil for 1 minute (or until golden) and set aside.
• Heat a non-stick skillet coated with cooking spray over med-high heat for 1 minute. Add the chicken and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Add the tomatoes with juice, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, Italian seasoning, and black pepper, stirring to break up the tomatoes. Bring to a broil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375.
• Coat an 8 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
