Method

Bread Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Start by selecting thick-cut bread, such as brioche or challah. You will need 4 slices. Allow the bread to sit out for a few hours or overnight to slightly stale for better texture.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted and bubbling.

Egg Mixture

  1. 3

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, crack 2 large eggs. Add 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 4

    Soak the Bread

    Dip each slice of the prepared bread into the egg mixture, allowing each slice to soak for about 30 seconds on each side to absorb the mixture.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Cook the French Toast

    Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet with melted butter. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the French Toast

    Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a plate. Drizzle with maple syrup, dust with powdered sugar, and top with fresh berries. Serve immediately while warm.
