Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter, for cooking
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Let it soak for about 30 seconds per side.
