How To Make French Toast | At Home 🇺🇸

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 eggs into a bowl and whisk them together.

Add 1/4 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and a few drops of vanilla extract to the eggs and mix everything really well.

Set the burner to medium heat, at a heat level of 5 out of 10.

Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 1/2 tablespoon of butter to the pan and let them heat for a minute.

Pour the egg mixture into a plate with raised edges for easier dipping.

Dip both sides of the whole grain bread into the egg mixture, letting some excess egg drip off for a couple of seconds.

Place the coated bread in the pan and let it cook on the first side for about 1.5 to 2 minutes without pushing it around.

Lift the edge of the bread to check if it's burning if you're not comfortable with the timing.

Once cooked to your desired doneness, turn the bread over and let the other side cook for about 1.5 minutes.

Check the corner of the bread to ensure it's not overcooked.

Remove the French toast once it reaches your desired doneness and start the next slice, adding a little more butter and oil between each slice.
