Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-sliced brioche or challah bread
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup (for serving)
- 1 cup Fresh berries (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully soaked but not overly saturated. Allow the excess mixture to drip off.
Place the soaked bread onto the heated skillet or griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges. Repeat this process with the remaining slices, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all the French toast slices are cooked, transfer them to a serving plate.
Optional: Dust the French toast with powdered sugar and top with fresh berries for an extra touch of sweetness and color.
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, and enjoy your Celestial French Toast!
