Description
A delightful breakfast dish made by soaking slices of bread in a mixture of eggs and milk, then cooking them until golden brown.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 thick slices of bread: Brioche or challah works best for a rich flavor and soft texture.
- 2 large eggs: Eggs are the key to binding the mixture and giving the toast its fluffy texture.
- 1/2 cup milk: Whole milk is ideal, but you can use any milk you prefer, such as almond or oat milk.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon: This adds a warm, comforting flavor that enhances the sweetness.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Vanilla brings a lovely aroma and depth to the dish.
- 2 tablespoons butter: Butter is essential for cooking the toast to a golden perfection.
- Maple syrup: This is a must-have for serving, adding sweetness to each bite.
- Powdered sugar: Optional, but it makes for a beautiful presentation when dusted on top.
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture by whisking together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined.
- Choose the right bread, preferably thick slices of brioche or challah.
- Soak the bread slices in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Cook the soaked bread in a preheated skillet with melted butter for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with optional powdered sugar and fresh fruit.
Notes
- Avoid using stale bread; fresh bread is essential for a fluffy texture.
- Do not soak the bread for too long to prevent sogginess.
- Ensure the skillet is at medium heat for even cooking.
- Feel free to customize with optional add-ins like nutmeg, flavored extracts, or fresh fruit.
