Nourishing French Toast

5 from 1 vote
This nourishing french toast makes for a fun, delicious start to the day. The whole grain bread provides carbs, protein, and fiber, while the eggs and milk add extra protein and a little fat. The fresh berries provide vitamins and the maple syrup extra carbohydrate for maximizing energy and taste. It all adds up to a nourishing breakfast that your family is sure to love!

  4. Place bread in skillet and heat for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown. (Repeat with remaining bread.)
