Ingredients

• 6 slices thick-sliced bread (brioche or challah recommended)
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0 maple syrup (for serving)
• 0 powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 0 fresh fruit or berries (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.

Step 2

Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish or pie pan to make dipping easier.

Step 3

Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.

Step 4

Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not overly saturated. Let any excess liquid drip off before placing the bread in the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the bread in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm (you can place it in a low oven at 200°F if desired) while you repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary.

Step 7

Serve the French toast warm with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh fruit or berries if desired.
