- Dip each slice of bread into the protein batter until one side is soaked.
- Flip the bread with a fork and soak the other side.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Grease the skillet with cooking spray or butter.

Notes
Use slightly stale bread for best results, as it absorbs the batter better.
Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches for even browning.
Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Serve immediately for the best texture, or keep warm in a low oven.
