Ingredients
For the French Toast
- 4 slices Slices of Bread Use whole grain or high-protein bread for extra nutrition.
- 2 large Eggs For binding, creating a rich flavor.
- 1/2 cup Milk Can substitute with almond or oat milk for dairy-free.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Infuses sweetness that enhances flavor.
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon A warm spice that complements the dish.
- 2 tablespoons Sugar Use for sweetness, essential for coating.
- 2 tablespoons Butter For cooking and contributing to the golden crust.
For Topping
- 2 tablespoons Sugar To mix with ground cinnamon for topping.
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon To mix with sugar for topping.
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients on a clean countertop.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
- Slice the bread into thick slices to capture more of that custard flavor.
- Prepare a large skillet or griddle and heat it over medium heat (around 350°F or 175°C).
Cooking
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to sit for a few seconds on each side to soak up flavor.
- On the hot skillet, melt 1/2 of the butter until bubbly.
- Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet, cooking until golden brown on one side (about 3-4 minutes).
- Flip the slices and add the remaining butter to the pan, cooking until both sides are crisp and golden.
Serving
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Once cooked, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over both sides of each slice of French toast.
- Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as fruit or syrup, and enjoy!
Notes
Perfect for meal prep, soak the bread overnight for a quick breakfast. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
