French toast is already half egg, so it does not take much to make it a real protein breakfast. This protein French toast adds egg whites and half a scoop of vanilla protein to the custard and lands at 28 grams of protein for two slices, with the same cinnamon flavor you grew up with.

Getting the custard right

Whisk the protein powder into the milk first until smooth, then add the eggs. Protein powder dropped straight into eggs forms lumps that stick to the bread.

Don’t over-soak

Ten seconds per side is enough for sandwich bread. Longer and the center stays wet while the outside burns.

Toppings

Greek yogurt and berries (adds protein and freshness).
A light drizzle of maple syrup.
Sliced strawberries and a sprinkle of high-protein granola for crunch.
