Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-sliced bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for frying)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Step 2
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and allow it to melt, coating the surface evenly.
Step 3
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 5 seconds on each side to absorb the liquid. Shake gently to remove excess batter.
Step 4
Place the soaked bread slice onto the preheated skillet. Repeat with as many slices as will fit comfortably without overlapping, usually 2-3 slices at a time.
Step 5
Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Adjust heat if necessary to avoid burning.
Step 6
Remove the cooked French toast from the skillet and transfer it to a plate. Cover the plate loosely with foil to keep warm while you cook the remaining slices.
Step 7
Add the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining bread slices.
Step 8
Once all the French toast slices are cooked, sprinkle them with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup on the side.
