Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Whole Wheat Bread: Choose thick slices of whole wheat bread for added fiber and nutrients; it holds up beautifully during cooking.
• Eggs: Use large eggs for richness; they create that custardy texture we all love in French toast.
• Milk or Milk Alternative: Any milk works here; almond or oat milk adds a unique flavor twist if you’re avoiding dairy.
• Vanilla Extract: For an aromatic touch; pure vanilla extract elevates the flavor profile significantly.
• Cinnamon: A sprinkle or two brings warmth and sweetness without added sugar; feel free to adjust based on your taste!
• Greek Yogurt: This secret ingredient amps up the protein content while adding creaminess to each bite.
• Maple Syrup or Honey: Use these natural sweeteners to drizzle over your toast; they add that perfect finishing touch!

Prepare Your Bread: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat while soaking each slice of bread in the egg mixture briefly—just enough to coat but not soggy!

Cook Your Toast: Place soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides—about 3-4 minutes per side—enjoy that heavenly aroma filling your kitchen.

Add Toppings & Serve!: Once cooked to perfection, top with Greek yogurt and drizzle maple syrup or honey over everything—because why not treat yourself?

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by whisking your egg mixture while heating your non-stick skillet over medium heat. Dip each slice of bread in the mixture before placing it in the pan and let it cook until golden brown on both sides.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out regular milk for almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version. You can also add cinnamon, vanilla extract, or even fresh fruit to elevate your High-Protein French Toast experience.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet until warmed through to maintain that crispy texture.
