Protein French Toast

French toast is simple to make and is a delicious breakfast food item. The most common version consists of dipping a slice of bread into an egg mixture. Then, it’s pan fried until golden brown. Once it’s ready, you can serve it with syrup and an assortment of toppings.

But in its regular format, French toast has a low amount of protein. In fact, one slice only yields about 6-8 grams of protein which is essentially from the egg mixture. Even eating two slices only provides about 15 grams of protein on average. Although 15 grams is better than none, it doesn’t really make a dent in most people’s protein goals.

Luckily, there are many ways to increase the protein in the mixture of your French toast.
