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.

Pick a shallow bowl for easy dunking.

Beat together 2 eggs, 2/3 cup of milk, and a pinch of salt.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon or nutmeg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract if desired.

Cut 6 thick slices of bread.

Dunk each slice in the egg mixture, turning to soak both sides.

Lightly butter a griddle or skillet and heat over medium-high heat.

Place the soaked bread on the griddle and cook until both sides are golden brown, flipping halfway through.

Serve hot with toppings like fresh berries, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, or maple syrup.
