⅔cupdairy-free creamer or unsweetened plant-based milk
½cupJust Egg
2teaspoonsvanilla extract
2teaspoonsground cinnamon
⅛teaspoonsalt
6thick slices bread½ to ¾ inch thick
2tablespoonsvegan butterfor cooking (about 1 teaspoon per slice)
fresh berriesfor topping (optional)
maple syrupfor topping (optional)
powdered sugarfor topping (optional)
Instructions
In a wide, shallow medium bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, Just Egg, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt until smooth.
Melt about 1 teaspoon of vegan butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the pan is hot, quickly dip a slice of bread in the custard for 1 to 2 seconds per side. Let any extra drip off so the bread doesn’t get soggy.
Place the bread in the skillet (2 slices fit in a large skillet) and cook until golden brown and a little crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Repeat with the remaining bread, adding about 1 teaspoon of vegan butter to the pan for each slice.
Serve warm topped with fresh berries, maple syrup and powdered sugar, if using.
Notes
Use bread that’s ½ to ¾ inch thick. If your slices are thinner, toast them lightly first so they don’t fall apart.
Thick, sturdy bread can soak for 5 to 8 seconds per side. Softer or thinner bread only needs about 1 second per side.
Make sure the pan is hot before adding the bread, or it will soak up the butter and turn soggy.
To keep slices warm, hold them on a baking sheet in a 200 degrees Fahrenheit (95 degrees Celsius) oven.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) oven for 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Nutrition is for 1 slice made with dairy-free creamer and doesn’t include the optional toppings.
