About French Toast
French toast is sliced bread soaked in an egg-and-milk custard, then fried in butter. Two slices come to about 355 kcal with 13.5 g protein — the egg gives it noticeably more protein than plain toast.
Tip: Thick brioche or challah French toast at brunch spots can be twice the weight of sandwich bread. Dust with cinnamon and add berries instead of a heavy pour of syrup.
