Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 6 slices thick bread slices (like brioche or challah)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- maple syrup or powdered sugar (optional topping)
- fresh fruit (optional topping)
Instructions
In a large, shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and salt until fully combined.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Dip one bread slice at a time into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly soaked but not overly saturated.
Place the soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding additional butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the French toast immediately, topped with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
