Golden High Protein French Toast with 33g Protein

Ingredients

• 8 slices high-protein bread or thick-cut whole grain bread
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup liquid egg whites
• 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened milk or milk of choice
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, about 30 grams
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 tablespoon butter, divided, for cooking
• Cooking spray, as needed

Instructions

1. In a large shallow bowl or baking dish, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, Greek yogurt, milk, protein powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, maple syrup, and salt until smooth. For the smoothest custard, blend the mixture for 15 to 20 seconds.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter and a light mist of cooking spray if needed.
3. Dip one slice of bread into the custard, letting it soak for 20 to 30 seconds per side if using sturdy bread. If using softer bread, dip quickly on each side so it does not fall apart.
4. Place the soaked bread in the hot skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown, lightly crisp at the edges, and cooked through in the center.
5. Repeat with the remaining bread, adding more butter to the skillet as needed between batches. Adjust the heat if the toast is browning too quickly.
6. Serve warm with berries, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, nut butter, or your favorite high-protein toppings.
