Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices sourdough bread
- 4 units large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 optional maple syrup or powdered sugar, for serving
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Place the sourdough slices in a shallow dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
Pour the egg mixture over the sourdough slices, ensuring each slice is thoroughly soaked. Let them sit for 5 minutes, then turn them over to soak the other side for another 5 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter, letting it melt and coat the pan evenly.
Once the butter is sizzling, carefully transfer the soaked sourdough slices to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the sourdough French toast warm, with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
