Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices thick bread (brioche, challah, or Texas toast)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (whole, almond, or oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Powdered sugar, syrup, or berries for serving
Instructions
- Whisk the Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar until smooth.
- Dip the Bread: Quickly dip each bread slice into the mixture, coating both sides without soaking too long.
- Heat the Pan: Place a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt butter until it sizzles lightly.
- Cook the Toast: Add bread slices and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Plate warm, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle syrup, or top with berries.
Notes
Use stale bread for best results—it holds the batter without falling apart. Keep cooked slices warm in a 200°F oven if making a large batch. For a dairy-free version, use almond or oat milk.
