Base Ingredients

4 units Eggs

1 cups Milk

1 tsp Watkins vanilla extract

1 tsp Cinnamon

1 pinch Celtic sea salt

8 slices Bread (thick slices, such as brioche or challah)

Toppings

4 tbs Butter

1 cups Maple Syrup

1 cups Fresh blueberries

1 cups Fresh Strawberries (sliced)

1 cups Bananas (sliced)

1 cups Chocolate Chips

Method

Preparation

Mix the Egg Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Prepare the Bread

Take the thick slices of bread and ensure they are dry. If the bread is fresh, consider toasting it lightly before dipping to prevent sogginess.

Cooking

Heat the Pan

In a large skillet or griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it is bubbling but not browned.

Dip and Cook the Bread

Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Let the excess mixture drip off before placing it on the skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Repeat Cooking

Add more butter to the pan as needed and repeat the process for the remaining slices of bread.

Serving

Plate and Top

Once all the French toast slices are cooked, stack them on a plate and add a pat of butter on top. Drizzle with warm maple syrup.

Add Fresh Fruits or Chocolate

For an additional charge, top with fresh blueberries, sliced strawberries, banana slices, or chocolate chips as desired.
