Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-cut bread
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoons Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the strawberry syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh strawberries (hulled and chopped), granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Set the syrup aside and keep warm.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Step 4
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let excess mixture drip back into the dish.
Step 5
Place the coated bread slice onto the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Step 6
Once all the French toast slices are cooked, serve warm with the freshly made strawberry syrup drizzled on top.
