Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 6 slices Thick slices of bread (e.g., brioche or challah)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- Fresh fruit (optional, for serving)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
Add the milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar, and salt to the bowl. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the custard mixture into a shallow dish wide enough to fit a slice of bread, such as a pie plate or baking dish.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.
Dip one slice of bread into the custard mixture. Let it soak for about 5 seconds on each side, ensuring it absorbs the mixture but does not get too soggy.
Place the soaked bread onto the skillet. Repeat with additional slices of bread, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Use a spatula to flip the bread carefully.
Remove the cooked slices and transfer them to a plate. Cover them loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking the remaining slices. Add more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the French toast warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and fresh fruit, if desired.
