Ingredients
- 8 slices Bread (preferably brioche or thick-sliced white bread)
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for cooking)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 2
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.
Step 4
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully soaked but not overly saturated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
Step 5
Place the soaked bread slice onto the preheated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Step 6
Once all the French toast is cooked, transfer to a serving plate.
Step 7
Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup.
