Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Additional:
- 8 slices day-old bread (such as brioche or Texas toast)
- 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh berries for serving
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Cook French Toast: Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak briefly on each side. Cook each slice for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Serve: Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed. Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh berries.
Notes
- Use thick, slightly stale bread for the best texture.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of orange juice or a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
