Ingredients

Servings
  • 6 to 8 lices thick bread, challah or brioche bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • unsalted butter for cooking.
  • Your favorite syrup and fruit for serving.

Instructions

  1. If the bread is not stale, let it sit on a baking sheet for an hour or so to harden it up a little bit.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs & yolks, milk, sugar, cinnamon, salt and vanilla, until foamy and smooth. Set aside.
  3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Place a small amount of butter (enough to coat the bottom of the skillet when melted) in the skillet and melt.
  5. Place 1 or 2 slices of bread at the time in the bowl with the egg mixture, turning, until saturated. Do not soak!
  6. When butter is just melted and bubbling, add bread slices in batches, cooking until they’re golden brown and crisp, a couple of minutes per side.  
  7. Serve immediately, or transfer to the oven to keep warm while cooking remaining bread.
  8. Top with maple syrup, berries, jam, sliced bananas, or whatever you'd like.

Notes

  • Calories do not include the count for syrup or toppings. 
  • Oversoaking is the enemy here; just be sure to dip the bread quickly to soak each side, then put right into a hot pan. If the bread soaks too long in the batter, the inside becomes really heavy and soggy, and doesn't cook all the way through.
  • Make sure the pan is completely hot before frying, otherwise the bread may stick to the pan and you'll end up with a mess!
  • Don't have stale bread? Toast the bread lightly first. This will help the bread to stay crispy and not soggy. Calories do not include the count for syrup or toppings.
