Healthy French Toast

Healthy french toast


This is the perfect breakfast or brunch to spoil yourself with on the weekend, and it's a lot healthier than the versions you usually find in cafes or restaurants!


This makes 1 serve.


Ingredients:
1 large egg
125 ml milk of choice
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, to taste
2 slices of rye bread
100g blueberries / 25g walnuts
125g strawberries, chopped
100% pure maple syrup, to serve
Pinch of lemon zest, to serve





Method:
1. Whisk together the eggs, milk and cinnamon until well combined and pour into a shallow dish.
2. Heat a non-stick fry pan over medium heat and spray lightly with cooking spray. 
3. Dip the bread in the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides evenly. 
4. Cook the bread slices, for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove from the pan and place on a serving plate.
5. Serve the French toast topped with the blueberries/walnuts and strawberries and drizzle with maple syrup and lemon zest. Enjoy! 

*To toast the walnuts: Heat a large non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat. Add the walnuts to the hot, dry pan and cook for approximately 5 mins until the walnuts start to brown and they smell toasted, stirring frequently.
Remove the walnuts from the fry pan and set aside to cool. Roughly chop the walnuts when cool enough to handle.
