Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 6 slices Thick white bread slices (such as brioche or challah)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for cooking)
- to taste Maple syrup (for serving)
- to taste Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish or pie pan for easy dipping.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling it to evenly coat the surface.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 15-20 seconds per side. Ensure the bread absorbs the mixture but does not become overly soggy.
Place the soaked bread onto the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread, adding the second tablespoon of butter as needed for cooking the rest of the batch.
Serve the French toast warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit or whipped cream.
