Instructions
Prepare the Yogurt Batter
In a wide shallow bowl whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until completely smooth. The mixture should be thick and well combined with no yogurt lumps remaining.
Soak the Bread
Dip each slice of thick cut bread into the yogurt egg batter. Allow each slice to soak for 20 to 30 seconds per side so the batter fully absorbs into the bread without making it soggy.
Cook the French Toast
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or cooking spray. Cook each soaked slice for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply golden brown and cooked through.
Serve with Toppings
Plate the French toast and top with fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a light drizzle of maple syrup. Serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best texture.
