Heat a nonstick frying pan on medium and add butter.

Garnish with toasted walnuts, your choice of berries and for some added sweetness pour some maple syrup on top. Enjoy!
Notes
Lightly toast the bread first before tossing it into the batter. This will help with both absorbing more of the batter and enriching the flavor of the french toast. It also helps to prevent your toasts from getting soggy.Using plant-based butter and milk is a perfectly great alternative. I would suggest coconut oil and almond milk instead.
