  • Choose a French bread with a slightly chewy texture for the best results.
  • If you don't have all-purpose flour, you can use a gluten-free flour blend instead.

  • For a healthier version, substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and the butter with olive oil. The benefit of this substitution is that whole wheat flour is higher in fiber and contains more nutrients than all-purpose flour, while olive oil is a healthier fat than butter.
  • For a vegan version, substitute the milk with almond milk and the eggs with a flaxseed egg mixture. The benefit of this substitution is that almond milk is a plant-based milk alternative that is lower in calories and fat than cow’s milk, and the flaxseed egg mixture is a vegan-friendly egg substitute that is high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

Cinnamon French Toast Beat the eggs, milk, sugar, flour, and salt together as instructed. Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the egg mixture and stir until combined. Soak the bread slices in the mixture as directed. Heat the butter in the skillet and transfer the bread slices to the hot skillet. Cook 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
