Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Bread (thick-cut, like brioche or challah)
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 4 slices Bacon (or breakfast sausage, cooked)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (Canadian, for authenticity)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, letting it melt and coat the pan.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly soaked. Place the slices onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, crack the remaining egg and cook to your preference (sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled). Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Assemble each sandwich by layering one slice of cheese, two slices of cooked bacon, and half the cooked egg onto one slice of the French toast. Top with another slice of French toast to complete the sandwich.
Optional: Return the assembled sandwiches to the skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes per side to lightly melt the cheese.
Drizzle each sandwich with the warm Canadian maple syrup before serving or serve the syrup on the side for dipping.
Serve immediately and enjoy your indulgent French Toast Breakfast Sandwich!
