Whisk it real good: Grab a bowl and get that custard going. You're aiming for a smooth mix of egg, Greek yogurt, protein powder, cinnamon, stevia, salt, and a splash of vanilla if you like. It’ll look thick — that’s perfect.

Soak it up: Pour the custard into a shallow dish or tray. Lay your bread triangles in gently. Don’t rush this bit — let each side soak up the goodness for at least 30 seconds.

No batter left behind: By now, your bread should have slurped up nearly every drop. If there’s just a slick of mixture left in the tray, you’ve nailed it.

Toast time: Melt a little butter in a nonstick pan and lay your custard-loaded bread in. Medium heat is key — golden and cooked through, not scorched.

Top it like you mean it: Stack up your slices and go wild: Greek yogurt, fresh strawberries, a drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of icing sugar — or whatever suits your vibe today.

You've Got This - Helpful Hints

A few handy tips to make this protein French toast recipe even quicker and easier

Stale bread is perfect, maybe even better, as it can hold more of the French toast batter without falling apart.
Let the bread soak – Don’t rush this step; you want the custard to really absorb. The more that is soaked into the bread, the more protein-packed each slice of toast is!
Make it a meal prep – Double the recipe and reheat slices in a toaster, air-fryer or pan.
