- If you don't have nutmeg, you can substitute with cinnamon or allspice.
- If you want a richer French toast, use whole milk instead of skim.
- Replace the milk with almond milk for a dairy-free alternative. This substitution would provide a great option for those who are lactose intolerant or following a dairy-free diet.
- Replace the butter with olive oil for a healthier option. This substitution would provide a healthier alternative to butter as olive oil is lower in saturated fat.
Cinnamon French Toast Mix 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon into the egg mixture before coating the bread slices. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon before serving.
