Classic French Toast

Ingredients

• 4 thick slices of bread (Brioche or Challah work best)

• 3 large eggs

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1 pinch of salt

• 1 tbsp butter (for the pan)

Instructions

1. Whisk the custard: In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until completely smooth.

2. Preheat the pan: Melt the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

3. Soak the bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture for about 10 to 15 seconds per side, ensuring it absorbs the liquid without getting completely soggy.

4. Cook until golden: Place the soaked bread in the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the surface is beautifully golden brown.

5. Serve: Serve hot with maple syrup, fresh berries, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
