Ingredients

  • 4 slices of thick bread (like challah or brioche)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • Maple syrup (for serving)
  • Fresh berries (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
  3. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not soaked through. Let excess mixture drip off.
  4. Place the dipped bread slices onto the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Add more butter as needed for the next batches and repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining bread slices.
  6. Once cooked, serve the French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and garnished with fresh berries if desired.
