Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 slices of bread (thick-cut preferred)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or any preferred type)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated but not too soggy.
- Place the soaked bread slices on the hot skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, or powdered sugar.
Notes
- Best Bread Options: Brioche, challah, or Texas toast work best for a richer, fluffier texture.
- Make it Dairy-Free: Use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
- Extra Flavor Boost: Add a dash of nutmeg or a splash of orange zest for a twist.
- Storage Tip: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best results.
