Not just a breakfast or brunch staple, I think French toast has to be one of the best ever recovery meals for cyclists and triathletes. Carbs. Check. Protein. Check. Awesome flavour. Double check!

The beauty of French toast, is that while it looks really fancy to serve it is super quick and easy. It's also a great way to eat eggs without them being savoury.

Plus, on the #lovefoodhatewaste spectrum, it's a perfect way to revive bread that has gone beyond stale!

I'll often serve French Toast with a big blog of Skyr or Greek Yoghurt for extra protein, drizzled with some honey or maple syrup and a dust of cinnamon. Maybe some nuts as well if I have any on hand.

This recipe is very fluid. Add more/less egg or milk to suit your preference. I rarely measure ingredients while making it, adapting to the number of serves I am making.

French Toast Recipe

(Serves 1-2)

Ingredients

2-3 eggs
1/4-1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla (optional)
Stale bread slices

Method

Whisk the eggs and milk in a shallow bowl
Soak the bread slices in the egg mixture, allowing it to soak through into both sides
Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium heat and cook the toast until it is golden.
Flip and cook the other side until it has cooked through.
Serve warm with Greek yoghurt, honey/maple syrup, cinnamon and fruit.

You can also add a dash of vanilla essence to the egg mixture for extra sweetness. Cold cooked French Toast is also delicious!

Enjoy for breakfast, brunch or after training!
