Ingredients
- Eggs
- 4 large
- Milk
- 1 cup
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- White bread
- 8 slices (preferably thick-cut)
- Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons (for cooking)
- Maple syrup
- 1/2 cup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar
- for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined and frothy.
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
- Dip each slice of white bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Allow any excess egg mixture to drip off before cooking.
- Carefully place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.
- Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar, if desired. For an added treat, top with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips
- For a twist, try adding a splash of orange zest or nutmeg to the egg mixture for extra flavor.
- Using stale bread or brioche can enhance the texture and flavor of your French toast.
- Feel free to experiment with different toppings like chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or chocolate chips.
