Ingredients:
4 slices of thick-cut bread (brioche or challah work best)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (whole milk or almond milk for a lighter option)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for cooking)
Maple syrup, fresh berries, and powdered sugar for serving
Tools Required:
bowl for mixing
Whisky
A non-stick skillet or griddle
A spatula
Measurement spoons and cups
For accurate slicing, use a sharp knife from Sharp Blades.
A serving plate
Time Spent Preparation: 5 minutes
Ten minutes to cook
15 minutes in total.
Directions:
Get the egg mixture ready:
Whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a mixing dish until thoroughly blended.
To soak the bread:
Dip each slice into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides equally. In order to keep the bread from becoming soggy, let it soak for ten to fifteen seconds on each side.
To make the French toast:
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the pieces of bread that have been soaked onto the pan once the butter has melted and is just beginning to bubble. Cook until golden brown and just beginning to crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
To serve:
Move the French toast onto a platter. For a taste explosion, sprinkle with powdered sugar, pour maple syrup over, then garnish with fresh berries.

Pro Tip:
Use day-old bread and leave it out for a few hours before cooking for an extra crispy outside. This keeps the bread from getting overly wet while allowing it to absorb the egg mixture. For the perfect morning, have a freshly brewed cup of coffee with your French toast.
