Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Whisk the batter

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the bread

    Take your thick slices of bread (brioche or challah recommended) and set them aside on a plate or cutting board.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the skillet

    In a large skillet or frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.

  2. 4

    Dip the bread

    Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

  3. 5

    Cook the French toast

    Place the coated bread slices in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter as needed for subsequent batches.

  4. 6

    Serve warm

    Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and serve warm on plates.

Serving

  1. 7

    Add toppings

    Drizzle warm local syrup over the French toast, then add fresh berries on the side. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
