Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick slices of bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey (plus additional for drizzling)
- 1 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 1 cup fresh fruit (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and honey until well combined.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.
Dip one slice of bread at a time into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 5 seconds on each side. Be sure the bread is well coated but not overly saturated.
Place the coated bread slices onto the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Work in batches, adding the remaining tablespoon of butter as needed for additional slices.
Once all the slices are cooked, transfer them to a serving plate.
Drizzle additional honey over the French Toast, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve with fresh fruit on the side.
Enjoy your Honey French Toast warm!
