Ingredients

• 6 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or challah preferred)
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons butter (for greasing skillet)
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 0.5 cup maple syrup (for serving)
• 1 cup fresh berries (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 5 seconds on each side. Lift the bread out to let the excess batter drip off, and place it in the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat for the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 6

Once all the French toast slices are cooked, transfer them to a plate and lightly dust with powdered sugar.

Step 7

Serve warm, topped with maple syrup, fresh berries, or any other toppings of your choice.
