French Toast Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Custard

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

  2. 2

    Soak the Baguette

    Slice the baguette into thick slices (about 1-inch each). Dip each slice into the custard mixture, allowing them to soak for about 30 seconds on each side.

  3. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the soaked baguette slices in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the French toast from the skillet, dust with powdered sugar, and top with seasonal fruits before serving.
