Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bread slices (preferably thick-cut, such as brioche or sourdough)
- 4 ounces Cheddar cheese (sliced or shredded)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- 1 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing 2 ounces of cheddar cheese between two slices of bread. Repeat to create a second sandwich.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Dip one sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring that both sides are fully coated but not overly soaked. Let any excess mixture drip off, then transfer the sandwich to the hot skillet. Repeat with the second sandwich.
Cook each sandwich for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Serve warm, with optional maple syrup for drizzling and a dusting of powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
