Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3 cups Day-old bread (e.g., brioche or challah), torn into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup (for serving)
- 2 teaspoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cups Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add the torn bread pieces into the egg mixture, ensuring all pieces are coated thoroughly. Let the bread soak for about 2-3 minutes to absorb the mixture.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, swirling it around to coat the pan evenly.
Pour the soaked bread mixture into the skillet. Use a spatula to gently stir and scramble the mixture as it cooks, similar to how you would scramble eggs.
Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is set and the bread pieces are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove from heat and transfer the sweet scrambled French toast to serving plates.
Drizzle with maple syrup and optionally garnish with powdered sugar and fresh berries for an extra touch of sweetness and color.
Serve warm and enjoy!
