Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well blended.
- Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well soaked. Let them sit for about 10 seconds on each side to absorb the mixture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Place the soaked bread slices on the heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure they are not burnt.
- In a saucepan, gently heat the maple syrup over low heat until warm. Be careful not to let it boil.
- To serve, place the French toast on a plate. Arrange the sliced nectarines and blueberries on top. Drizzle with the warm maple syrup and finish with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Tips
- For a variation, try using peaches or raspberries in place of nectarines and blueberries.
- You can use any type of bread you prefer, though thicker slices like brioche or challah work especially well for French toast.
