  • Cooking method: Frying
  • Prep time: 5 minutes
  • Cook time: 10 minutes
  • Cuisine: French

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 slice thick bread (Brioche or Challah preferred)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Maple syrup (for drizzling)
  • Powdered sugar (for sprinkling)

Cooking Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar.
  2. Soak the bread slice in the mixture, allowing it to absorb the liquid for about 30 seconds per side.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Let it melt and bubble, but not burn.
  4. Place the soaked bread into the skillet. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove from the skillet and place the French toast on a plate.
  6. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  7. Enjoy immediately in your PJs.

Suggestions

  • For a tropical twist, use coconut milk instead of whole milk.
  • Top with fresh berries or banana slices for added freshness.
  • Craving a crunch? Add crushed nuts like almonds or pecans.
  • Use cinnamon-spiced butter for an extra kick of flavor.
  • Store-bought bread? Pfft, if you’re feeling ambitious, make your own!
