Health Tips:
- Raisin bread is a healthy option instead of plain bread, as raisins are a great source of iron, which helps the blood to transport oxygen.
- This recipe has a high fat content, especially of the saturated kind.
To make this healthier and heart friendly, cream can be substituted with low fat single cream or flavored yoghurt.
- Eggs provide good quality protein through this dish.
For decreasing fat content, only the whites of 4 eggs can be used instead of whole eggs.
- Cinnamon adds a delicate flavor to the cream. Cinnamon sugar can also be used to top the toast while cooking for adding crunch.
- This dish is a great breakfast option and good way to give eggs and bread to kids who are fussy about eating!
