Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices thick bread (Brioche, Texas Toast, or Challah preferred)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp butter (for the pan)
- Maple syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar (for serving)
Instructions
- Whisk Custard: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Dip Bread: Dip each bread slice into the mixture, coating both sides well. Let excess drip off.
- Preheat Pan: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbling.
- Cook: Place soaked bread in the pan and cook 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and firm.
- Serve: Serve warm with maple syrup, fruit, or powdered sugar as desired.
Notes
Use slightly stale bread for best results. For dairy-free, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and butter with coconut oil or vegan butter.
