Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 slices slices of bread (thick, like brioche or challah) Thick slices soak the custard without falling apart.
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk Can use non-dairy milk as a substitute.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter (for frying) Coconut oil can be used as a substitute.
Coating Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for coating) Add more for a stronger flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture until fully coated.
Cooking
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Place the coated bread slices in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for coating.
- Remove the French toast from the skillet, and while warm, coat each slice in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Serving
- Serve warm with syrup, whipped cream, or toppings of your choice.
Notes
Think about timing: cook in batches and keep finished slices on a warm oven tray at 200 degrees F. For storage, cool completely, then refrigerate for up to three days, or freeze single slices for up to a month.
