Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 English muffins
- 3 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter
- as needed for serving Maple syrup
- optional for garnish Fresh berries
Instructions
Cut each English muffin in half to create 8 separate pieces. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, letting it melt and coat the surface evenly.
Working with one English muffin half at a time, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10-15 seconds on each side.
Place the soaked English muffin halves onto the hot skillet or griddle, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with remaining muffin halves, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the pan as needed.
Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and garnished with fresh berries if desired.
