Mexican French Toast

Ingredients

Bread

4 slices (preferably thick-cut, such as brioche or challah)

Eggs

2 large

Milk

1/2 cup (or dairy-free alternative)

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Cinnamon

1 teaspoon

Chili powder

1/2 teaspoon

Butter

2 tablespoons (for cooking)

Maple syrup

1/4 cup (for serving)

Fresh fruit

1 cup (such as strawberries, bananas, or mango, for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, chili powder, and vanilla extract until well combined.
2. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
3. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are generously coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
4. Carefully place the coated bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
5. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and keep warm while you prepare the remaining slices.
6. Serve the Mexican French Toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with a colorful assortment of fresh fruit. Enjoy!
