Tips Before Making Your High Protein French Toast

Incorporate Protein Powder Without Affecting Taste

To add protein powder without creating a chalky texture, it is crucial to blend it correctly into the egg mixture with a whisk. The best types are often vanilla or unflavoured whey protein, as they mix well and complement the other flavours.

Cook at the Right Temperature to Avoid Dryness

The added protein in this recipe can make the toast cook faster and become dry, so controlling the heat is essential for a perfect result. Cook your soaked bread on a skillet over medium heat, using butter to prevent sticking and add rich flavour. Each slice of bread needs about 2-3 minutes per side. You are looking for a beautiful golden brown colour. The toast should feel slightly firm, indicating the centre is cooked through without burning the outside.
