Ingredients

• 4 slices Thick-sliced bread (brioche or challah preferred)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for frying)
• 1 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey (optional)
• 0.5 cups Fresh fruit (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 10 seconds per side. Ensure it is fully coated but not overly soggy.

Step 4

Remove the bread and allow any excess mixture to drip off before placing it carefully onto the hot skillet.

Step 5

Repeat the dipping process with additional slices of bread and arrange them in the skillet without overcrowding.

Step 6

Cook each side for approximately 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove the cooked French vanilla toast from the skillet and place it on a plate. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary.

Step 8

Once all slices are cooked, serve the French vanilla toast warm. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup or honey, if desired.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh fruit such as berries, banana slices, or sliced peaches for an extra touch of flavor and color.

Step 10

Enjoy your French Vanilla Toast immediately for the best texture and taste!
