Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices thick-cut bread day-old challah or brioche preferred
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter for cooking

Method
 

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and frothy.
  2. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
  3. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides well. Let any excess drip back into the bowl.
  4. Place the soaked bread on the hot skillet; cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2–3 minutes per side.
  5. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
