Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-cut bread (Brioche or Challah preferred)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- optional Maple syrup (for serving)
- optional Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- optional Fresh fruit (e.g., berries, banana slices, etc.)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish or pie pan for easier dipping.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are fully soaked but not overly saturated to prevent breaking.
Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and caramelized. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Repeat the process for the remaining slices, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve immediately, topping with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, and maple syrup if desired. Enjoy your French Toast 2.0!
