Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-sliced bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 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, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish or pie pan to make dipping the bread easier.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt completely.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are evenly coated but not overly saturated.
Place the coated bread slice onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with pure maple syrup and optionally garnished with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and fresh fruit.
