Ingredients

• 6 slices Thick-cut bread (brioche or challah works best)
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0 Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 0 Fresh berries (optional, for serving)
• 0 Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until completely smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish or pie plate to make it easier for dipping the bread slices.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the surface of the pan.

Step 4

Working with one slice at a time, dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak on each side for about 20 seconds. Ensure the bread is fully coated, but not overly soggy.

Step 5

Place the coated bread slice onto the preheated skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter as needed for each batch.

Step 6

Once all the French toast is cooked, transfer to a serving plate and keep warm if necessary.

Step 7

Top with maple syrup, fresh berries, powdered sugar, or other desired toppings, and serve immediately.
