French Toast

Ingredients

1. Day-old bread (challah, brioche etc) – Around 5 slices, 1/2- 3/4 inch thick (Please don’t use fresh bread. You can also use regular whole wheat / white bread but challah, brioche or cinnamon-raisin bread works best for French toast)

2. Eggs – 3

    Whole milk – 3/4 cup (You can replace it with heavy cream)

    Sugar – 2 -  2.5 tbsp

    Vanilla extract – 1/2 – 3/4 tsp

    Cinnamon powder – 1/4 – 1/2 tsp

    Salt –  tiny pinch

3. Butter – 2 – 3 tbsp

4. Maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruits, powdered sugar, honey, butter etc – To serve

 

Method

1. Whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder and salt. Pour into a wide plate.

 

2. Heat a skillet at medium-low heat. Melt 1/2 – 1 tsp butter in the skillet. Dip a bread slice in the egg mixture for about 5 – 10 seconds on each side and place on the skillet. Fry the bread slices  until browned, about 4 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining bread slices. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy with maple syrup and fruits on the side.
