Ingredients

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

8 slices of day-old bread (brioche or challah recommended)

Butter or oil for frying

Maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit for serving

Instructions

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

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a pat of butter or a drizzle of oil to coat the surface.

Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds on each side until well-coated but not soggy.

Place the soaked bread onto the hot skillet or griddle. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Repeat the process with the remaining slices, adding more butter or oil as needed.

Serve the French toast hot, dusted with powdered sugar, drizzled with maple syrup, and topped with fresh fruit if desired.
