Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for batter)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 8 slices thick-cut bread slices
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cup maple syrup (for drizzling)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the surface.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg batter, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not too soaked. Lift it out and allow any excess batter to drip off.
Place the coated bread slice onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining bread slices, adding more butter as needed.
While the French toast cooks, make the raspberry sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
To serve, plate 2 slices of French toast per person. Top with a generous spoonful of the warm raspberry sauce, drizzle with additional maple syrup, and, if desired, dust with powdered sugar.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavor-packed breakfast!
