Betty's Fabulous 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.

Beat egg whites in a bowl until stiff peaks form.

Beat egg yolks in a different bowl until smooth.

Place beaten egg yolks in a Pyrex pie plate or other flat dish.

Add sugar, salt, milk, and vanilla. Stir until smooth.

Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites.

Heat griddle and add 1½ tablespoons butter.

When butter is hot (but not smoking), use tongs to dip each slice of bread into batter and then onto hot griddle.

Using tongs, turn each piece of bread when bottom gets browned, in order to brown both sides.

When all sides are browned, transfer pieces of French toast from griddle to a serving plate.

Place a pat of butter in the center and drizzle French toast with honey, or put a dollop of whipped topping in the center and place strawberry halves over top of French toast.
