- Prep time: 5 minutes
- Cook time: 10 minutes
- Servings: 4 slices
Shop Key Ingredients
- Pure Vanilla Extract
- Ground Cinnamon
- Maple Syrup
Full Recipe Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick-cut bread (brioche, challah, or Texas toast work best)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (whole milk or half-and-half for richer results)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for the pan
Instructions
- In a shallow dish (like a pie plate), whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is light and frothy.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 20-30 seconds on each side. You want the bread to be saturated but not falling apart.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet or on a griddle over medium heat. Once the butter is sizzling, carefully place the soaked bread slices in the pan.
- Cook for 2-4 minutes on each side, until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
