Description

This classic French Toast recipe transforms simple whole wheat bread into a comforting, golden-brown breakfast treat. By using Egg Beaters and skim milk, you achieve that perfect custardy interior without the heaviness of whole eggs, making it a lighter option for weekend brunches. The addition of ground cinnamon and vanilla extract infuses every slice with warm, aromatic sweetness that pairs beautifully with maple syrup. It is incredibly easy to prepare, requiring just a few minutes of prep and cooking time. Whether you are feeding a crowd or treating yourself to a quick weekday morning meal, this dish delivers consistent, delicious results with a satisfying crunch on the outside and a tender, fluffy center.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the Egg Beaters, skim milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of margarine.
  3. Once the margarine is melted and bubbling, dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  4. Transfer the coated bread slices to the skillet, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Cook for approximately 3 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown and crisp.
  6. Flip the bread slices and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the second side until cooked through and browned.
  7. Add remaining margarine to the skillet between batches as needed, and repeat until all bread is cooked.
  8. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
