My kids love bread for breakfast! I often make for them my Cottage Cheese Egg Bake, Cottage Cheese Egg Bites, or Coconut Flour Waffles. But my daughter doesn’t like the taste of egg yolks. So I created this egg-white French toast recipe for her.

As a French mum, I must share a bit of French vocabulary with you when it comes to food. So let me answer the three main questions I always hear about French toast! Egg White French Toasts are healthy French toasts made without egg yolk.

As a result, they are lower in saturated fat and calories and don’t have an eggy taste that some people don’t like in French toast recipes.

Ingredients and Substitutions

All you need are the following:

• Egg Whites – you can buy egg white in the store in a bag, or split your whole eggs at home and set aside the egg yolk to use in another recipe.
• Stale Whole Wheat Bread Slices – you can use any bread you like, but I highly recommend a bread that is slightly hard, a few days old, to make the French toast crispier.
• Almond Milk or any milk you like.
• Greek Yogurt for a boost of protein.
• Maple Syrup or crystal sweetener you like including sugar-free sweeteners if preferred.
• Cinnamon for flavor.
• Vanilla Extract – for added flavor
• Coconut Oil to fry the bread slices.

The bread is what makes a big difference in French toast and especially in this egg white recipe. If your bread is too soft and fresh, it results in a soft and soggy texture. The best bread for this recipe is:

• Slightly stale whole meal bread – the crumb of the slices should be slightly hard.
• Sourdough bread – naturally harder than other bread, sourdough French toasts taste great even with fresh sourdough.
• Stale homemade bread like my Keto Bread, Almond Flour Bread, Almond Flour Keto Bread with Yeast.
• Brioche or challah

How To Make Egg White French Toasts

It’s very easy to make delicious French toast with egg white.

1. If your bread is soft and fresh, but you still crave this recipe,  then place the slices on a baking tray covered with parchment paper.
2. Bake in preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 4-6 minutes, flipping the slices halfway.
3. Cool them down on a cooling rack before using them in the recipe
4. Egg whites are much more difficult to whisk with other ingredients than you think. So use a good kitchen whisk, and beat vigorously the egg white, yogurt, cinnamon, maple syrup, and vanilla until it’s well combined. The mixture shouldn’t split – it means you shouldn’t see spots only with egg whites.
5. Warm some coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
6. Meanwhile, dip the bread slice on both sides into the egg-white mixture. Always hold the bread slice a few seconds above the bowl to let the excess run out into the bowl.
7. Then, place the dipped bread slice into the hot oil.
8. Fry the bread for 2 minutes on one side or until the sides are crispy – it won’t be golden brown as there’s no egg yolk in the recipe.
9. Flip and keep frying the bread slice over medium-high heat, for about 1 to 2 minutes.
10. Place the toast on a plate with some absorbent paper if you care about fat – this absorbs the excess oil.

Serving Suggestion

The best way to serve French toast is to add similar toppings as you will add to pancakes, like:

• Maple syrup
• Fresh berries or any fresh fruit
• Unsweetened whipped cream
• Butter
• Peanut butter
• Icing sugar

Storage Instructions

You can store leftover cooked egg white French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Rewarm in a hot non-stick pan, lightly oiled with coconut oil, or rewarm in the air fryer at 320°F (160°C) for 2-4 minutes, flipping halfway. You can also rewarm them in a toaster oven.
