"It's super fun for brunch, especially if you love matcha as much as I do!" Popkiewicz tells Livelyof the matcha-infused collagen recipe.
Matcha French Toast
Ingredients:
- 8-12 slices of brioche bread
- 1 scoop Vital Proteins Matcha Collagen
- 1 C unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 eggs
- 1-2 T sugar
- 1 T butter
- 1 T vegetable oil
- Fresh berries
- Dairy-free whipped cream
Directions:
- Cut the French bread into ½-inch thick slices. (If using a pre-cut loaf of bread, you can use the slices as they are.)
- Add a little milk to the Matcha Collagen first, making it into a smooth paste. Then add the matcha mix back into the rest of the milk, mixing well.
- Beat the eggs well, mix the milk into them, and mix in the sugar.
- Dunk the bread into the egg mixture, coating each side well.
- Melt the butter and oil together in a frying pan and add the soaked bread slices. Cook each side until browned.
- Arrange slices on a plate with fresh berries and whipped cream.
