Easy French Toast

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: stale bread

Whole grain bread is more nutritious; stale bread reduces waste.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories; water is a budget-friendly option.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey is a natural sweetener; brown sugar is often cheaper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon. Stir in the orange zest and/or triple sec if using.

Place each slice of bread into the milk egg mixture, allowing the bread to soak in some of it.

Melt some butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.

Shake off the excess egg mixture from the bread and place the bread slices onto the hot skillet.

Fry the French toast until browned on one side, then flip and brown the other side.

Serve the French toast hot with butter, maple syrup, and/or fresh berries.
