Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick-cut bread brioche or challah recommended
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk or dairy-free alternative
- 1 tsp McCormick vanilla extract
- ½ tsp McCormick ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp sugar optional
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp butter for cooking
- Maple syrup powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for serving
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sugar (if using), and a pinch of salt.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter.
- Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.
- Place the bread in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Remove from heat and serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- Bread Choice Matters – Use thick-cut bread like brioche or challah for the best texture. Stale bread works even better as it absorbs the mixture without getting too soggy.
- Even Coating – Don’t soak the bread for too long; a quick dip is enough to prevent sogginess.
- Cooking Tip – Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the outside before the inside is fully cooked.
- Extra Flavor – Add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of orange zest for a unique twist.
- Make it Healthier – Use whole wheat bread and substitute sugar with honey or a sugar-free alternative.
- Storage – Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best results.
