Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 6 slices Thick slices of bread (brioche or sourdough preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, Cajun seasoning, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 3
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not overly soaked.
Step 4
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the hot skillet and allow it to melt completely.
Step 5
Place 2-3 slices of the coated bread into the skillet (depending on the size of your skillet), ensuring they have space to cook evenly.
Step 6
Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices, adding the remaining tablespoon of butter as needed.
Step 8
Serve the Cajun French Toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
