Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bread (thick slices, such as brioche or challah)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for frying)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh fruit (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a shallow bowl or dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well-coated but not overly soaked to avoid breaking.
Place the coated bread slice in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until both sides are golden brown. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Once all slices are cooked, transfer the French toast to a serving plate.
Serve immediately with maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and fresh fruit, if desired.
