Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Challah bread
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 cups Milk (preferably high-protein milk like Fairlife)
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter or oil (for cooking)
- 1 cup Fresh berries (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil.
Dip each slice of challah bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Let the excess batter drip off before placing it onto the skillet.
Cook the challah slices in the skillet for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
As each batch is cooked, transfer the French toast to a baking sheet and keep warm in a preheated oven set at 200°F (90°C), if needed.
Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining challah slices, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the French toast warm, garnished with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
