Ingredients:

  • 4 slices of thick-cut bread (e.g., brioche or challah)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions:

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  2. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Allow it to soak for 1-2 minutes per side for optimal absorption.
  3. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter, spreading it evenly across the surface.
  4. Place soaked bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, then flip and repeat on the other side with additional butter if necessary.
  5. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and repeat with remaining bread. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
