Servings: 4

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup of 2% milk
• 2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 8 slices of multigrain bread
• 120 g (about 20 small slices) light sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup strawberries, sliced
• 16 basil leaves, cut in half

Preparation:

1. In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
2. Assemble sandwiches by placing cheese, strawberries and basil leaves between 2 slices of bread.
3. Brush just one side of each sandwich with the mixture, then place that side down on a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.

Tips for your breakfast sandwich:

• French toast can be baked and frozen before assembly and then thawed and reheated in the toaster for those busy mornings
• Can be served with a drizzle of maple syrup, strawberries and decorated with a basil leaf for a brunch effect
