Ingredients
- 1 loaf bread a few days old, ideally, thick sliced
- 3/4 cup milk cold
- 4 whole egg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons butter
- powdered sugar optional
- maple syrup optional
Instructions
- Preheat large, nonstick skillet over medium low to medium heat.
- In a large, shallow dish, whisk milk, eggs, cinnamon and vanilla together until well combined.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter onto pan. Soak two slices of bread in egg and milk mixture, 3 seconds per side, and transfer directly to hot pan. Fry each side 30 seconds to 1 minute or until evenly golden in color. Remove from pan to a baking sheet. Keep cooked french toast pieces warm in a 200 degree oven.
- Continue this method until all slices of bread have been fried.
- Serve warm french toast with powdered sugar, strawberries, whipped cream, maple syrup or any other desired toppings.
Notes
- Bread: Use anything from Texas Toast, Challah, Brioche, French Bread, or even a sliced Baguette. Be sure that the bread is a couple of days old and note that soaking times will vary based on the thickness and hardiness of the bread.
- Batter: Flavor your batter with things like orange zest, pumpkin spice, or shredded coconut.
