2 slices sturdy whole-wheat bread, cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole egg, half the cinnamon, the vanilla extract, and salt until very well combined and no streaks of yolk remain.
Place the bread slices into the bowl with the egg mixture. Soak for 45 seconds per side until the bread is saturated but still holds its shape when lifted.
Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and coat with half the cooking spray. Lift the bread from the bowl, letting excess liquid drip off, and add to the pan. Cook until the bottom is deeply golden brown, about 4 minutes.
Coat the pan with the remaining cooking spray and flip the toast. Pour all remaining egg custard from the bowl into the empty space in the skillet. Cook the second side of the toast for 3 to 4 minutes while using a spatula to occasionally stir the egg custard until it is set and scrambled. Done when toast is firm and springs back when pressed, 165°F.
Transfer the French toast and scrambled eggs to a plate. Dust the toast with the remaining cinnamon and serve immediately.
