Ingredients
- 6 slices thick-sliced bread (brioche or challah preferred)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 0.5 cup blueberries
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup maple syrup (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully blended.
Step 2
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt evenly.
Step 3
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are fully coated but not overly saturated.
Step 4
Place the coated bread slice into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices, adding the second tablespoon of butter as needed.
Step 5
While the French toast is cooking, prepare the toppings by slicing the strawberries and banana and setting them aside with the blueberries.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked French toast to serving plates. Top each slice with a variety of the prepared fruits (strawberries, blueberries, and banana).
Step 7
Optionally, sift powdered sugar over the top for added sweetness and presentation.
Step 8
Serve the French toast with a drizzle of maple syrup on top or on the side. Enjoy your fruity creation warm!
