Eggs Benedict Light
Greek yogurt is the base of this thick and creamy version of hollandaise sauce and just a touch of mayonnaise and butter give it some richness. We've also subbed in whole-wheat English muffins for a little fiber and whole-grain oomph. Eggs Benedict without the guilt—at last!

French Toast Bites
We love this kid-friendly French toast created by Cindy Bates. Regular French toast can be soggy in the middle, but bite-size cubes mean more crispy surface area.
