Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 slices whole-grain bread Sturdier slices like slightly stale or day-old work best
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt Plain, full-fat or low-fat
- 2 large eggs For protein and structure
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract For flavor
- Cinnamon Cinnamon To taste
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup Optional, for sweetness
- Fresh fruit Fresh fruit for topping Berries, sliced banana, or apple work well
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup if using until smooth and slightly airy.
- Dip each slice of whole-grain bread into the mixture, turning once to coat both sides lightly and avoiding sogginess.
Cooking
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil or butter for a crisper edge.
- Cook the coated bread in the skillet for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the center is set. Adjust heat as needed.
Serving
- Serve warm topped with fresh fruit, an extra spoonful of yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
Store cooked slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet for best texture. Freeze cooled slices up to 1 month.
