Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 slices Thick bread slices (like brioche or challah)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- optional, for serving Maple syrup
- optional, for garnish Powdered sugar
- optional, for serving Fresh berries
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Dip one slice of bread at a time into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not soaking wet. Let any excess mixture drip off.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the preheated skillet. Place two slices of the coated bread on the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread slices.
Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm while cooking the rest.
Serve immediately with maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and fresh berries, if desired.
