Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using whole grain bread instead of French or Italian bread. You can also add a splash of almond or coconut milk for a different flavor. To enhance the cinnamon flavor, add a pinch of clove or allspice. If you want to make this dish dairy-free, substitute skim milk with almond or soy milk.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar or drizzle with lo-cal maple syrup. Fresh fruit, such as berries or banana slices, makes a great topping. For a complete breakfast, pair with Greek yogurt or serve alongside a side of Barbara'S Strawberry Salad for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the bread soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, you can substitute the egg with a flaxseed meal or a commercial egg replacer. Use non-dairy milk to keep it vegan-friendly. The texture may differ slightly, but the flavor will still be delicious.
How do I prevent the French toast from sticking to the skillet?
Ensure your skillet is adequately preheated and generously coated with cooking spray. If you find it still sticking, try using a non-stick pan or adjusting the heat to medium-low to cook the toast more gently.
Can I freeze leftover French toast?
Absolutely! Allow the French toast to cool completely, then wrap each slice in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in a toaster or skillet.
