Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Hamburger buns or hotdog buns
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- Maple syrup or powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
- Fresh fruit (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
Slice the hamburger or hotdog buns in half lengthwise (if not already split), ensuring you have manageable pieces for soaking and cooking.
Dip each bun half into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 5 seconds on each side. Ensure the bread is soaked but not falling apart.
Place the soaked bun pieces onto the heated skillet or griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat the process, adding the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet or griddle as needed until all the bun pieces are cooked.
Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit on top, as desired.
