French Toast with Blueberries and Maple Syrup

Ingredients

• Whole wheat bread 2 slices
• Eggs 2 large
• Skim milk 1/4 cup
• Blueberries 1/2 cup
• Maple syrup 2 tbsp

Method

1. Prepare the egg mixture. In a shallow bowl, crack the two eggs and whisk them gently. Add the 1/4 cup of skim milk and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
   Tip: Use a fork or small whisk to beat the eggs thoroughly to get a uniform custard.
2. Dip the bread slices. Take each slice of whole wheat bread and dip it into the egg mixture. Let the bread soak for about 20 seconds on each side to absorb the mixture but not become too soggy.
   Tip: Hold the bread over the bowl for a few seconds after dipping to let excess drip off, preventing soggy toast.
3. Cook the French toast. Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or cooking spray. Place the soaked bread slices onto the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
   Tip: Cook on medium heat to ensure the toast cooks evenly without burning the outside.
4. Serve with blueberries and syrup. Transfer the cooked French toast to plates. Evenly distribute the fresh blueberries on top of the toast and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.
   Tip: For extra flavor, warm the maple syrup slightly before drizzling.

Pro tips

• Use day-old bread if possible; it soaks up the egg mixture better without falling apart.
• If you prefer, add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the egg mixture for added flavor.
