Ingredients

• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 6 slices Thick slices of bread (e.g., brioche or challah)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0 Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 0 Fresh fruit (optional, for serving)
• 0 Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and whisk until combined.

Step 2

Add the milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar, and salt to the bowl. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Pour the custard mixture into a shallow dish wide enough to fit a slice of bread, such as a pie plate or baking dish.

Step 4

Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.

Step 5

Dip one slice of bread into the custard mixture. Let it soak for about 5 seconds on each side, ensuring it absorbs the mixture but does not get too soggy.

Step 6

Place the soaked bread onto the skillet. Repeat with additional slices of bread, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Use a spatula to flip the bread carefully.

Step 8

Remove the cooked slices and transfer them to a plate. Cover them loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking the remaining slices. Add more butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve the French toast warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and fresh fruit, if desired.
