Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-sliced bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for cooking)
- to taste Maple syrup (for serving)
- to taste Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- to taste Fresh fruit (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a shallow mixing bowl or dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Dip one slice of bread at a time into the egg mixture. Let it soak for about 10-15 seconds per side to absorb some of the mixture, but avoid oversaturating it.
Carefully place the soaked bread onto the hot skillet or griddle. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all slices are cooked, transfer them to a plate. Lightly dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or any toppings of your choice.
