How to Make French Toast!! Classic Quick and Easy Recipe

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.

Crack 2 large eggs into a pie plate and break them up with a fork.

Add 1/4 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and a splash of vanilla extract to the eggs.

Whisk the ingredients together until smooth.

Heat a frying pan over medium to medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and a pat of butter.

Wait until the butter is hot and the milk solids start to brown before adding the bread.

Quickly dip one side of the Texas toast into the egg mixture, flip it over to coat the other side, and let excess drip off.

Place the coated bread in the hot pan and cook until golden brown on one side, about a couple of minutes.

Flip the bread when bubbles around the edges get smaller and cook until golden brown on the other side.

Remove the French toast from the pan and repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter and oil as needed.

Serve warm with maple syrup and optional toppings like powdered sugar or fresh fruit.
