Chia Seed Custard French Toast Delight

1In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs (4 large), milk (1 cup), sugar (2 tablespoons), and vanilla essence (1 teaspoon) until well combined.

2Add the chia seeds (2 tablespoons) to the egg mixture and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds (2 tablespoons) to absorb some liquid and swell.

3While the chia seeds (2 tablespoons) are soaking, heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

4Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.

5Place the coated bread slices onto the heated skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

6Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and place it on a serving plate.

7Drizzle the custard (1 cup) over the French toast slices, allowing it to soak in slightly.

8Serve warm, garnished with additional chia seeds (2 tablespoons) or a sprinkle of sugar (2 tablespoons) if desired.
