Cinnamon-vanilla french toast with whole-wheat bread

Cinnamon-vanilla French toast is a delicious and wholesome breakfast option. By using whole-wheat bread, this recipe adds a nutritious twist to a classic favorite. The combination of cinnamon and vanilla extract gives this dish a warm and comforting flavor, making it perfect for a weekend brunch or a special weekday treat.

Ingredients:

1 egg
50g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4.20g
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1.30g
1/4 cup milk (3.25% fat)
60g
4 slices whole-wheat bread
110g
1 tbsp butter
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a medium-sized bowl, crack the egg and gently beat it with a fork or whisk until the yolk and white are well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and milk to the beaten egg. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Preheat the Pan:
- Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan on the stove over medium heat.
- Add the butter to the pan and let it melt, making sure to tilt the pan to coat the surface evenly with melted butter.
3. Dip the Bread:
- Take one slice of whole-wheat bread and dip it into the egg mixture. Allow the bread to soak up the mixture for a few seconds, then flip to coat the other side.
- Repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread.
4. Cook the French Toast:
- Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated pan without overcrowding them (you may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your pan).
- Cook each slice for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Adjust the heat if necessary to avoid burning.
5. Serve:
- Remove the cooked French toast from the pan and place them on a serving plate.
- Optionally, you can keep the French toast warm in a preheated oven (about 200°F/95°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
6. Enjoy:
- Serve the Cinnamon-Vanilla French Toast warm, and enjoy with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, powdered sugar, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Tips:

- Use Stale Bread: Stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better, giving your French toast a richer texture. If your bread is fresh, you can lightly toast it in the oven before dipping.

- Thoroughly Whisk the Egg Mixture: Make sure to whisk the egg, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and milk thoroughly to avoid any clumps and ensure an even distribution of flavors.

- Soak the Bread: Allow the bread to soak in the egg mixture for a few seconds on each side, ensuring it is fully coated but not overly saturated, to achieve the perfect consistency.

- Use Medium Heat: Cook the French toast over medium heat to ensure it cooks evenly and achieves a golden-brown color without burning.

- Add Butter to the Pan: Melt a tablespoon of butter in the pan before cooking the French toast. This adds a delicious flavor and helps prevent sticking.

- Experiment with Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of nuts can elevate this dish to new heights.

Cinnamon-vanilla French toast with whole-wheat bread is not only a delectable breakfast choice but also a nutritious one. This recipe is quick and easy to prepare, and it delivers a satisfying and flavorful meal that everyone will love. Enjoy it with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
