Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon half and half or cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 lices bread (use something sturdy, not white, soft sandwich bread)
- Powdered sugar or syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- Break four eggs into a shallow bowl. Add half & half or cream and vanilla. Beat together well.
- Heat a skillet large enough to hold two slices of bread (about a 10" works well) over medium heat. Add 1 tblsp butter to skillet.
- While butter is melting, place a slice of bread into egg mixture and allow it to sit for a few seconds soaking up the eggy mixture. Turn over to second side.
- Lift bread with spatula and place in heated skillet. Repeat with second slice of bread.
- Cook 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- Turn and cook approximately 2 minutes on second side. Repeat with remaining two slices of bread and tblsp of butter.
- Transfer to serving plate. Top with powdered sugar or syrup.
Notes
- Choose a sturdy bread for this recipe. Soft sandwich bread tends to fall apart, so I prefer something like a good country-style loaf or boule, a brioche, or even sourdough.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat in the toaster on low for a slightly crispy exterior or in the microwave for a softer texture.
- Place cooked and cooled slices on a baking sheet to freeze individually. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Reheat directly from frozen in a toaster or oven.
