Equipment
Ingredients
- 100 g frozen mixed berries (£2.00/2)=(£1.00)
- 3 eggs (£0.85/2)=(£0.43)
- 100 ml skimmed milk (£0.60)
- 8 thick slices of whole meal bread (£0.58)
- 4 tbsp 0% fat Greek yogurt (£0.85)
Cupboard Essentials
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- If possible, leave the slices of bread on a baking tray, uncovered, overnight to dry out before cooking.
- Set the frozen mixed berries aside to defrost. Combine the eggs, skimmed milk, vanilla extract, honey and cinnamon in a bowl with a whisk.
- Add a ½ a tbsp of olive oil into a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. One by one, dunk the stale pieces of bread into skimmed milk/egg mix and transfer into the frying pan, frying 2 pieces at a time.
- After around 3 minutes, or until golden brown, rotate and repeat the frying process on the other side. Transfer to the oven whilst completing dunking/frying the rest of the pieces of bread. For each two pieces of bread, use around ½ a tbsp of olive oil for frying.
- Serve the french toast with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a handful of mixed berries, a squeeze of honey and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
- Opt for whole grain or whole wheat bread instead of white bread. Whole grain bread provides more fibre and nutrients, making it a healthier choice.
- Cinnamon is a great way to add flavour without adding calories or unhealthy ingredients. Increase the amount of cinnamon to enhance the taste of the French toast.
- Serve with frozen berries or fresh fruits (if you have additional budget)! Top your healthy French toast with fruits like sliced strawberries, blueberries, or sliced bananas. They add natural sweetness, vitamins, and fibre to the dish.
