Ingredients

Scale

Custard Mixture

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup egg substitute
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Bread and Cooking

  • 4 thick slices whole grain or brioche bread
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil

Side and Toppings

  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • Maple syrup (natural), for drizzling
  • Fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, bananas) optional
  • Chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts) optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a wide bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, egg substitute, vanilla extract (natural), cinnamon, and natural gelling agent until smooth and fully blended. This mixture will soak the bread, creating a creamy interior.
  2. Soak the Bread: Dip each bread slice into the custard mixture, allowing it to absorb without becoming overly soggy. Flip to coat both sides evenly. Use thick, sturdy bread for best results.
  3. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked turkey bacon slices until crisp. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  4. Fry the French Toast: Heat cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the soaked bread slices in the pan and cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crisp along the edges.
  5. Serve Hot with Toppings: Plate the French Toast, add crispy smoked turkey bacon alongside, and drizzle with maple syrup (natural). Garnish with fresh fruits or nuts if desired.

Notes

  • Use day-old thick bread for better custard absorption and to prevent sogginess.
  • Do not rush soaking the bread; ensure it absorbs custard without oversaturation.
  • Cook on medium heat for a perfectly golden crust without burning.
  • Let the custard mixture rest for a few minutes for flavors to meld.
  • Cook bacon just before serving to keep it crisp.
