...and I mean quick! It took me 15 minutes to make a warm, healthy home cooked breakfast for the toddler before school. That 15 minutes included a bit of discipline, a pumpkin show off, a mini-commercial, the toddler cracking my eggs and scooping my spices. It was fun, fast, healthy, and everything I want family time to be.
Here's what I did but remember, take it and run!
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- splash of your favorite milk (about an ounce)
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 slices of your favorite whole grain bread
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat.
whisk the egg, milk and spices in a flat bottom bowl or dish.
Spray the skillet with non-stick spray.
Dip the bread quickly in the egg (both sides) and place on the skillet.
Flip after 2-3 minutes when the toast become a nice golden brown.
Serve with a bit of syrup!
Note: the Nutritional Information may vary based on the bread you use. I ate my second with just a bit of maple syrup and oh.. MY! YUM! (Notice it in the picture)

Mmmm... This is good. Love mine dipped in a bit of almond butter!
roni
you could skip it all together. I only add it to stretch the egg a bit. If you want to use yogurt then just thin it with some water.
Hope that helps!

...can I use a bit of greek yogurt instead if milk?
Deb
lol just passed the part of ryan asking why are you talking to yourself then he said oh yeah Im talking to myself! LOL
Deb
Wow that looks good! YUM! Too bad I have a cold, i dont feel an appetite for that 🙁 Ryan is being a very good helper, and hes getting BIG!
roni
Laura - There's a name for that... can't think of it right now. You need to beat the heck out of it fish that membrane out before dipping.
But yea... I get it sometimes too.

Have you ever noticed that if your egg is really fresh, most of it sticks to the first slice of bread, and it gets to thick protein-y strings of white? What do you do about that?
Zoey
Hi Roni,
Thank you for posting the video. It was a good one.
I am looking forward to seeing what you do with pumpkin seeds.
Dani
OMG... when Ryan asked you "Mommy, why are you talking to yourself?" I just melted. That was so cute and so funny! Another great video guys!
roni
my mom just yelled at me... saying I forgot the vanilla! LOL At least I used vanilla milk I said! HA!
I added it to recipe as she always added it too!

Hey Roni...i watch but rarely post. this looks like a good take on an old fave! I always smother mine in butter and syrup...but you're right...it really isn't necessary. THe cinnamon and nutmeg sound great...and adding a vanilla flavor to the egg mixture like Tricia said is a fab idea too...we are gonna try this the next time we do french toast! Thanks for letting us sit in on your morning w/ the toddler!!
Tricia
Roni,
Try using fresh grated nutmeg and a splash of vanilla.....so GOOD!!!!!

I love french toast but I always think it *seems* like too much work in the morning. I'll have to remember your video next time - you had a toddler and still got it done in less than 15 min!
Alisha
lol....kids are great when they're chipper in the morning 😉
I think I will have to try Silk now.
Deb
Thanks Roni! It looks better then mine for sure! Ryan is a good helper!
