   • Begin by preheating your griddle or pan over medium heat. If using a griddle, lightly spray it with non-fat cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

   • In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, Sweet ‘n Low, sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined. This flavorful mixture will be the secret to perfectly spiced French toast.

3. Dip and Coat the Bread:

   • Take each slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring that both sides are evenly coated. Use a fork to gently press down on the bread, allowing it to absorb the liquid mixture.

4. Cook the French Toast:

   • Place the coated bread slices onto the preheated griddle or pan. Cook them until they turn golden brown on both sides, usually about 2-3 minutes per side. Flip them over halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

5. Serve Warm:

   • Once the French toast is cooked to perfection, transfer it to serving plates. You can serve it with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Get creative and add your own unique twist!
