Ingredients

• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk (low-fat or dairy-free)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch Salt
• 4 slices Whole-grain bread
• 1 tablespoon Cooking spray or unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey (optional, for serving)
• 1 cup Fresh fruit (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter.

Step 3

Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds on each side. Let the excess mixture drip off before placing the bread into the skillet.

Step 4

Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining slices of bread, adding more cooking spray or butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 5

Serve the French toast warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey. Add fresh fruit on top for a delicious and healthy garnish.
