Fabulous French toast

Fabulous French toast

French toast, or eggy bread, is a delicious breakfast that consists of bread being soaked in milk and egg before being fried to create a crispy golden layer. In this recipe I have made various adjustments to make sure it is jam-packed with nutritious ingredients to ensure you're not low in energy by 11 o'clock!

Serves 1

Ingredients

1 egg

100 ml milk of choice

1 tbsp pure maple syrup/honey

2 slices of bread (I used 4 as it was a small loaf)

1 tsp coconut oil

2 tbsp cottage cheese/yogurt

Lemon zest

Handful blueberries

Drizzle maple syrup

To make

1. Mix together the egg, milk and maple syrup and place the bread in the mixture. Leave this for a minute to soak up the mixture, then flip so the other side of the bread can soak up the liquid.

2. Melt the coconut oil in a large frying pan and place the bread in the pan. Fry the bread on either side for 4-5 minutes or until it is lightly golden.

3. Serve the french toast with cottage cheese or yogurt for added protein, a sprinkle of lemon zest, a handful of blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup!
