Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 slices soft whole-wheat or multi-grain bread
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup reduced-fat (2%) milk
• pinch each of cinnamon and kosher salt

Directions

1. Place the butter in a medium bowl and heat in the microwave for 45 seconds at medium power (50%) or 30 seconds at high power; stir until melted.

2. Lightly brush an 8-in-square glass baking dish with butter. Brush the remaining butter on both sides of each slice of bread and lay the slices in the prepared pan.

3. In the same bowl, beat together the egg, milk, cinnamon, & salt with a fork and then pour over the bread. Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight.

4. In the morning, place the pan in the oven at 450 degrees F. Set the timer for 15 minutes and bake until the toast is puffed and golden, up to 18 minutes total. Loosen the French toast slices with a flexible metal spatula and serve.
