English Muffins Turned Into French Toast

Let me assure you, using whole wheat English muffins in place of regular French bread to make French toast is perfectly delicious!

You know how those mornings go. You want to eat a particular breakfast, but you don’t have all the exact ingredients. Well, I wanted French toast and only had day old whole wheat English muffins in the pantry.

WOW! They turned out GREAT! My kids (who I thought would freak out) totally chowed down. I followed Chef John’s French toast recipe just as normal and everything turned out fine.

HERE’S ALL IT TAKES

• 6 slices whole wheat English muffins
• 1/2 cup healthy egg substitute, or 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• pinch of nutmeg
• 2 tablespoon butter for frying
• Pure Maple Syrup

Very Important First Step:

Heat oven to 400F degrees and heat up griddle pan on medium heat.

Mix the healthy egg substitute, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a LARGE bowl; large enough to hold all 6 slices of bread.

Allow the bread to soak up all the liquid in the bowl.

Melt butter on griddle pan for an even coating. Add bread slices and cook for one minute on each side, until light golden brown.

Transfer bread slices to a ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan, drizzle with a little pure Maple syrup and serve HOT!

Tastes great with a side of oven fried bacon and fruit salad.
