Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-sliced bread
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- Maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let the excess drip off before placing it in the skillet.
Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and lightly crispy. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all slices are cooked, transfer them to a serving plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar for an added touch of sweetness.
Serve warm with maple syrup if desired.
