PROS

Lisa’s French Toast is a quick and easy breakfast recipe that can be whipped up in no time!
The use of baking mix makes this recipe even simpler to prepare.

Moreover, it’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with its custardy flavor and crunchy edges making it extra delicious.

CONS

French toast isn’t a high protein breakfast, although the eggs and milk are a good source.

One slice of French Toast with syrup has around 200-300 calories, so it may not be suitable for low calorie diets.

Also, to get the best flavor and texture from the bread it should be a day old, but this means having to plan ahead.
