Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-cut bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, Kahlua, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish, such as a pie plate or baking dish, to make it easier to dip the bread slices.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling to coat the surface.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds on each side. Lift the bread out of the mixture, letting any excess drip off, and place it on the heated skillet.
Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all the slices are cooked, transfer them to a plate and garnish with powdered sugar.
Serve the Kahlua French Toast warm with maple syrup on the side for drizzling.
