Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 6 slices Bread (thick slices, such as brioche or challah)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- Maple Syrup (for serving)
- Powdered Sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish, such as a pie plate, to make dipping the bread easier.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, letting it melt and coat the surface.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are fully coated but not overly saturated. Let any excess drip off.
Place the coated bread onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all the slices are cooked, serve warm with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
