Fabulous Frosted French Toast

Ingredients

* 6 eggs
* 1 1/2 cups skim milk
* 2 tablespoons white sugar
* 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, cut into 3/4 inch slices
* 1/4 cup butter
* 1 (8 ounce) package fat-free cream cheese, softened
* 2 tablespoons white sugar
* 2 tablespoons fat-free sour cream
* 2 tablespoons frozen whipped topping, thawed


Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and cinnamon. Melt one tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip a few bread slices into the egg mixture just to coat. Place in the hot skillet, and cook until golden on each side, about 4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining slices of bread. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet before frying each batch of toast.
2. While the toast is cooking, mix cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of sugar, sour cream, and whipped topping using an electric mixer or blender until smooth, yet firm.
3. Place servings of warm French toast onto plates, and top with a generous dollop of the frosting.
