Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup real butter
- 8 ounces bread
- 2 cups milk
- 6 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
- Place the coated bread slices into the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute whole milk with almond milk and use a low‑fat butter or oil. If you prefer a sweeter profile, add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture. Leftover French toast can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in a toaster or microwave. This recipe pairs wonderfully with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream.
