Am STILL licking my lips, DO NOT repeat DO NOT give this recipe a miss! Served with baked cinnamon apples, sugar free syrup too, Didn't use butter but sprayed George Forman Health Griller with oil; made it quicker and easier to do! Thanks! Will definately be making this again!

What a great recipe!! I made this for my husband as a weekend brekky! I used 2 heaping tbsp of fat free cream cheese & added 1/4 tsp cinnamon & vanilla for a little sweetness. Make sure it's a nice thick layer; it's so good that way! I used whole wheat bread & a fresh strawberry syrup & fat free whipped cream goes great over this. Thanks so much for sharing!
