Method
Make the batter.
Whisk the eggs, egg whites, milk, protein powder, cinnamon and vanilla extract together in a shallow dish until the powder is fully worked in and no clumps remain.
Cook the toast.
Heat the butter in a large non-stick pan over medium heat until it foams.
Dip each slice of bread into the batter for 5 to 10 seconds a side. Any longer and the slice turns soggy rather than custardy, since this batter is thinner than a regular French toast soak.
Lay the soaked slices in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes a side, until golden and set through the middle.
Serve.
Serve straight from the pan while hot, with maple syrup on the side if you want it.
