Ingredients
French Toast Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- Pinch of salt
Other Ingredients
- 6 slices thickly cut bread
- Cooking spray, for the skillet
- Syrup, for serving
- Fresh fruit, for topping
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a large shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Add the ground cinnamon, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt. Whisk lightly until the mixture is fully blended.
- Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and spray it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Soak the bread slices: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side to absorb the custard. Add a little more cinnamon to the mixture as needed to keep the flavor vibrant.
- Cook the French toast: Place the soaked bread slices onto the heated skillet. Cook each side for about 4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Serve and garnish: Once cooked, transfer the French toast to plates. Top with syrup, fresh fruit, and a dusting of powdered sugar for a delicious presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use thickly cut bread for the best texture and to prevent sogginess.
- If you like, substitute vanilla bean paste with vanilla extract.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity according to taste preference.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
- To keep cooked toast warm, place in a low oven while finishing the batch.
