Bread

Egg Mixture

Method

Preparation of Egg Mixture

  1. 1

    Mix the Egg Mixture

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

Cooking the French Toast

  1. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can add a small amount of butter or oil to prevent sticking, if desired.

  2. 3

    Dip the Bread

    Take each slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not soaked.

  3. 4

    Cook the Bread

    Place the coated slices of bread onto the heated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Preparing Toppings

  1. 5

    Prepare the Sweet Cream

    In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Assembling the French Toast Stack

  1. 6

    Stack and Serve

    On a plate, stack 2 slices of the cooked French toast. Spread a layer of Nutella on top, followed by a drizzle of maple syrup. Add some fresh mixed berries on top. Repeat with the remaining slices, creating a stack. Top the final slice with more Nutella, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of berries.
