Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Bread (preferably brioche or thick-sliced white bread)
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for cooking)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully soaked but not overly saturated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
Place the soaked bread slice onto the preheated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all the French toast is cooked, transfer to a serving plate.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup.
