Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Eggs
- 120 ml Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
- 6 pieces Sliced bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh fruit (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well-beaten.
Add the milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the eggs, whisking until fully combined.
Preheat a large skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling to coat the surface of the pan.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not soggy. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
Place the coated bread slice onto the preheated skillet. Repeat the process with as many slices as can comfortably fit in the skillet without overlapping.
Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges. Transfer cooked slices to a plate and keep warm.
Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the French toast warm, topped with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh fruit, if desired.
