Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Bread (preferably thick-sliced like brioche or challah)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for frying)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Fresh fruit (optional, for toppings)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not saturated to the point of breaking. Repeat with another slice as the pan has room.
Carefully place the coated bread slices into the preheated pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Once all the slices are cooked, plate the French toast. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with fresh fruit.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
