Servings 1 person
Equipment
- large non-stick skillet
- medium shallow bowl
- whisk
- fork
- Cooking spray
- spatula
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread challah, brioche, cinnamon raisin, wheat, white bread, etc.
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon maple syrup or white sugar or brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch table salt
Instructions
- Heat large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. While pan is heating up, crack an egg into a shallow bowl, add ¼ cup milk, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of table salt to egg.
- Whisk until incorporated.
- Dip both slices of bread in egg mixture, cover one side, then flip quickly. Let sit in egg mixture for 15-30 seconds on the second side. This will help you not get dry spots.
- Spray pan with cooking spray, or add butter. Wipe excess egg off of bread slices on the edge of bowl. Transfer to hot skillet. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Enjoy immediately. Top with butter, maple syrup, and other toppings such as berries, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and/or whipped cream.

Notes
- Brioche and challah bread are best, but you can use whatever kind of bread that you have.
- If using thick sliced bread, add double the milk mixture. If you like very flavorful french toast, you can double the vanilla, maple syrup, and even the cinnamon too.
- I like using maple syrup to sweeten the custard, it adds a nice extra maple flavor. But you can use regular white sugar or brown sugar. It's not a strong flavor, so any work.
- Double or triple the recipe for a crowd.
- Topping ideas: butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, chocolate chips, powdered sugar, sprinkles, whipped cream, etc.
