Ingredients:
– 4 slices whole-grain bread
– 1 cup skim milk or unsweetened almond milk
– 2 large egg whites (or 1 whole egg)

– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
– 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Batter:**

2. **Heat the Pan:**
– Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
