- 4large eggs: The binding agent in this recipe (eggs add protein and richness. If you're looking for an egg substitute, consider using flaxseed meal mixed with water.)
- ½ cupmilk: Whole milk lends creaminess to the egg mixture. For a lactose-free option (substitute with almond milk or oat milk.)
- 1 tspvanilla extract: This adds a hint of sweetness and rich flavor (enhancing the overall taste of the French toast.)
