Ingredients

• 4 pieces Thick bread slices (preferably brioche or challah)
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted for cooking)
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup (for serving)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until smooth.

Step 2

Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to melt and coat the surface evenly.

Step 3

Dip one slice of bread at a time into the custard mixture, fully submerging it and allowing it to soak for about 5 seconds on each side. Shake off any excess batter.

Step 4

Carefully place the soaked bread onto the heated skillet or griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and lightly crispy. Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices.

Step 5

Add more butter to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking or burning between batches.

Step 6

Once all the slices are cooked, transfer them to a serving plate.

Step 7

Drizzle the French toast with maple syrup and garnish with powdered sugar and fresh berries, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Golden French Toast!
