Ingredients
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, combine Egg Beaters, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot.
- Dip bread slices into the egg mixture, turning to soak evenly.
- Spray the cooking surface with nonstick spray and place bread slices on the griddle.
- Cook for about 2 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Respray the cooking surface each time you turn or add bread slices.
- Keep cooked French toast warm in a 150°F oven until all slices are done.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole eggs instead of Egg Beaters, or substitute almond milk for the 1/2% milk. If you want a hint of sweetness, add a tablespoon of sugar or a dash of nutmeg to the egg mixture. To keep the French toast crispy, avoid stacking the slices while they cool, and serve immediately after cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the French toast warm, topped with lite syrup or fruit preserves for added sweetness. Fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas makes a delicious addition, while a dusting of powdered sugar can elevate the presentation. This dish pairs beautifully with a side of Green Beans In Mushroom Sauce for a balanced meal.
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 a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until heated through and crispy. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.
