French Toast with Eggs and Blueberries

Ingredients

• Whole wheat bread 3 slices
• Eggs 2 large
• Skim milk 1/4 cup
• Blueberries 1/2 cup
• Maple syrup 1 tbsp

Method

1. Prepare the egg mixture. In a medium-sized bowl, crack the 2 large eggs. Add the 1/4 cup of skim milk. Use a fork or whisk to beat the eggs and milk together until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
   Tip: Beating the eggs well ensures your French toast will have a uniform texture and golden color.
2. Soak the bread. 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 so it absorbs enough liquid but doesn’t become too soggy.
   Tip: Use a slotted spoon or tongs to lift the bread, allowing excess liquid to drip off before cooking.
3. Cook the French toast. Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. If desired, lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter or cooking spray. Place the soaked bread slices onto the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until each side is golden brown and cooked through.
   Tip: Avoid high heat to prevent burning. Medium heat lets the bread cook evenly and stay soft inside.
4. Plate and add toppings. Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate. Sprinkle the fresh blueberries evenly over the top. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of maple syrup over the French toast and blueberries for sweetness.
   Tip: For extra flavor, you can add a light dusting of cinnamon or a dollop of yogurt if you like.
5. Serve and enjoy. Serve your French toast warm. Enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
   Tip: Pair with a cup of coffee or fresh juice for a complete breakfast.

Pro tips

• Use day-old bread if possible; it soaks up the egg mixture better without falling apart.
• If you want fluffier French toast, separate the egg whites and beat them before folding into the yolk mixture.
