Tetley Tips:
This recipe is a great way to use up day old bread because it’ll soak up more of the egg mixture, making the French toast even more flavourful.
Reduce the fat content of this recipe by using 5 egg whites instead of 4 whole eggs and spraying the pan with nonstick spray instead of brushing with oil.
Microwave 1/2 cup (125 mL) honey or maple syrup with 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon, on HIGH, until heated through; stir until well combined. Drizzle over toast before serving.
