Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Egg Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well beaten. Add the milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until fully combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Take the thick slices of bread and set them aside. You can use any type of bread, but brioche or challah works best for a rich flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it's bubbly and starts to foam.

  2. 4

    Soak the Bread

    Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides well. Allow the excess mixture to drip off before placing it on the skillet.

  3. 5

    Cook the French Toast

    Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve with Toppings

    Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a serving plate. Drizzle with maple syrup and top with fresh berries. Serve immediately for the best experience.
