High Protein French Toast

• porții: 3 servings
• timp activ: 5 minutes
• timp total: 10 minutes

Ingrediente

2 large eggs

6 large egg whites (or 1/2 cup of liquid egg whites)

½ cup milk of choice

1 scoop protein powder (I love vanilla whey but use your favorite flavor or pea protein)

1 tbsp sweetener of choice (optional if you want sweeter french toast)

½ - 1 tsp ground cinnamon (based on your preference)

1 tsp vanilla extract

9 slices of your favorite bread (use high-protein bread for extra protein)

1 - 2 tbsp butter or olive oil spray (to grease for pan)

Instrucțiuni

Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla in a large shallow dish or casserole dish. If you are adding protein powder, add it in this step and whisk until completely combined.

Before dipping your bread slices, heat a large pan or pancake griddle to medium heat so it is ready to go. Grease the pan with butter or olive oil spray.

Working with two pieces of bread at a time, soak each slice in the egg mixture. Make sure to turn them over, so you coat both sides. I like to let mine soak up the mixture for about 1 minute.

Once the greased pan is hot, add the soaked bread slices to the pan and cook for a total of 4 - 5 minutes, flipping halfway through. The french toast should be golden with crispy edges. Repeat this process until you use all your bread.

Serve warm topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt, your favorite maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, and/or a dash of cinnamon. Enjoy!
