  • Be sure to use low-fat milk for a lighter French Toast.
  • The nutmeg is optional, but it adds a nice flavor to the French Toast.

  • Substitute the white bread with whole wheat bread. This will provide a higher fiber content and more nutrients.
  • Substitute the low-fat milk with almond milk. This will provide a dairy-free alternative and a lighter flavor.

Cinnamon-Raisin French Toast Add 1/4 cup of raisins to the egg mixture and increase the cinnamon to 2 tablespoons. After soaking the bread in the egg mixture, sprinkle some extra cinnamon and raisins on top of the bread before cooking.



Maple-Glazed Bacon: Crispy bacon glazed with sweet maple syrup is the perfect accompaniment to French Toast. The salty bacon and sweet syrup flavors balance each other out, creating a delicious contrast.


Scrambled Eggs: Scrambled eggs are a classic breakfast dish that pairs perfectly with maple-glazed bacon. The creamy texture and rich flavor of the eggs complements the crunchy bacon and sweet syrup. Plus, they're easy to make and can feed a crowd!
