Ingredients

• 4 slices Thick-cut bread (Brioche or Challah preferred)
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0 optional Maple syrup (for serving)
• 0 optional Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 0 optional Fresh fruit (e.g., berries, banana slices, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish or pie pan for easier dipping.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are fully soaked but not overly saturated to prevent breaking.

Step 5

Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and caramelized. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.

Step 6

Repeat the process for the remaining slices, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 7

Serve immediately, topping with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, and maple syrup if desired. Enjoy your French Toast 2.0!
