Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread*
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch salt
- butter for cooking
Instructions
Mix
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until the egg whites have completely mixed with the egg yolks. Add the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt and combine.
- Pour the liquid mixture inside a 9x13 baking dish and place the sourdough slices in the dish. Lightly press down and move the bread slices around. Let the first side soak up the liquid for 3 minutes, flip them over, and let the sourdough soak up the liquid mixture for another 5 minutes until the liquid is nearly gone.

Cook
- Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Once hot, melt the butter and immediately place the soaked bread slices, usually 2 per batch, in place. Cook the first side for about 2 minutes.
- Flip them over and continue cooking the other side for 2 more minutes, until the top of the middle feels puffy. Remove from the pan and keep warm while you cook the rest of them.
Serve
- Serve warm, topped with a little butter and your favorite toppings and syrups.
Storage
- Refrigerate cooked leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Slice the sourdough bread between ½ to 1 inch thick. Use the middle slices, whenever possible, about 5 to 6 inches in length. The liquid mixture is calculated based on these measurements; but if you're using the smaller slices or the end of the sourdough round, you'll probably have enough liquid for one or two extra slices.
