Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices thick-sliced bread (brioche or challah preferred)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 0.5 cup blueberries
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully blended.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt evenly.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are fully coated but not overly saturated.
Place the coated bread slice into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices, adding the second tablespoon of butter as needed.
While the French toast is cooking, prepare the toppings by slicing the strawberries and banana and setting them aside with the blueberries.
Transfer the cooked French toast to serving plates. Top each slice with a variety of the prepared fruits (strawberries, blueberries, and banana).
Optionally, sift powdered sugar over the top for added sweetness and presentation.
Serve the French toast with a drizzle of maple syrup on top or on the side. Enjoy your fruity creation warm!
