sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

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

In a flat dish, crack 2 jumbo eggs (or 3 if using smaller eggs).

Add some milk to the eggs and whisk well.

Add a pinch of salt, a little brown sugar (or granulated sugar), cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract to the mixture and whisk until incorporated.

Prepare to make 5 to 6 slices of French toast using thick cut butter bread.

Dip the bread into the egg mixture, soaking for about 5 to 10 seconds.

Use a cast-iron pan, coating the bottom with butter, and remember to re-butter between batches.

Set the electric stove to low medium heat (between 4 and 5).

Cook the French toast for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, adjusting the heat as needed.

Serve the French toast topped with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
