Why this remake works

Egg whites boost protein in the custard without more yolks.
Wholegrain bread adds fibre versus white sandwich loaf.
Greek yogurt and berries replace most of a syrup-heavy topping.
A non-stick pan needs only a light oil mist.

Bread and topping

Wholegrain bread slices

4 slices

Olive oil or butter for the pan

1 tsp

Greek yogurt (0–2%)

100 g

Mixed berries

150 g

Honey

1 tsp

Method

Whisk eggs, egg whites, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a shallow dish until evenly combined.
Soak each bread slice for 20–30 seconds per side so the custard absorbs but the bread still holds together.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with the oil or butter. Cook slices for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and the custard is set.
Plate two slices per person. Top with Greek yogurt and berries, then drizzle lightly with honey.
Serve immediately while the toast is crisp at the edges.

Chef tips

Staler bread soaks better without falling apart.
Medium heat prevents a burnt outside and raw centre.

Substitutions

Egg whites → One extra whole egg
Honey → A dusting of cinnamon only
