Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 8 slices Thick-cut bread
- 4 slices Deli ham
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a shallow bowl or large dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Place the bread slices onto a flat surface and assemble the sandwiches by layering one slice of ham and one slice of cheddar cheese between two slices of bread. Repeat for all sandwiches.
Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Dip each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly but not saturate the bread.
Place the coated sandwich into the heated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat for all sandwiches, adding more butter as necessary.
Serve the French Toast Sandwiches warm, drizzled with maple syrup and sprinkled with powdered sugar for a hint of sweetness.
