Ingredients
- 4 English muffins
- 3 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter
- 0 as needed for serving Maple syrup
- 0 optional for garnish Fresh berries
Directions
Step 1
Cut each English muffin in half to create 8 separate pieces. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
Step 3
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, letting it melt and coat the surface evenly.
Step 4
Working with one English muffin half at a time, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10-15 seconds on each side.
Step 5
Place the soaked English muffin halves onto the hot skillet or griddle, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Repeat with remaining muffin halves, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the pan as needed.
Step 7
Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and garnished with fresh berries if desired.
