Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter
- 6 slices White bread slices
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- Fruit (optional, for serving)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until smooth.
Add milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar to the bowl. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Lightly butter the skillet using 1 tablespoon of the butter, evenly coating the entire cooking surface.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not soaking to the point of falling apart.
Place the coated bread onto the pre-heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown.
Flip the bread with a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining bread slices. Add more butter to the skillet as necessary between batches.
Once all slices are cooked, remove them from the skillet and stack them on a plate.
Serve warm with optional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top for extra sweetness. Enjoy!
