Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 4 slices Thick Slices of Bread (Brioche or Challah preferred)
- 0.25 cup Maple Syrup
- 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Fresh Berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
Heat a large skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Dip one slice of bread at a time into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak on each side for about 5 seconds. Make sure the bread absorbs the mixture but does not become overly soggy.
Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and lightly crisp around the edges.
Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet if necessary.
Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Add fresh berries on top for extra flavor and presentation, if desired.
