Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole wheat bread
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter or cooking spray
- optional, for serving Maple syrup
- optional, for serving Fresh fruit
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or lightly coat with cooking spray.
Dip one slice of whole wheat bread into the egg mixture, turning it over to coat both sides evenly. Allow any excess liquid to drip off.
Place the coated bread onto the preheated skillet or griddle. Repeat with remaining slices if space allows, or cook in batches.
Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked through.
Transfer cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm by covering loosely with foil or placing in a low-temperature oven while cooking the remaining slices.
Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or toppings of your choice.
