Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices sliced bread (preferably thick-cut)
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for cooking)
- 1 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cups maple syrup (for dipping)
Instructions
Cut each slice of bread into 3 long strips to create 'fingers' and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and allow it to melt, coating the entire surface.
Dip each bread 'finger' into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, but shake off any excess to prevent sogginess.
Place the dipped bread fingers onto the hot skillet in a single layer, leaving space between each piece. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked through.
Remove the cooked French Toast Fingers from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess butter.
Repeat the process, adding more butter to the skillet as needed, until all bread fingers are cooked.
Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar (if desired), along with maple syrup for dipping.
