sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

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

Cut fresh bread and set it aside to dry out a little before cooking.

Whisk together 2 eggs and 0.5 cups of milk until well mixed, with no chunks of yellow or white.

Add 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of orange zest to the egg mixture.

Stir in 2 teaspoons of sugar, which can be omitted if desired.

Heat a griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and cover the surface.

Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides and shaking off any excess.

Place the coated bread onto the griddle and cook until it makes a sizzling sound.

Flip the bread once golden brown and cook the other side until done, checking for a nice smell and appearance.

Remove the French toast from the griddle once cooked and serve warm.
