Fabulous French Toast

By Hklbrries

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup whole milk or half-and-half
• 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• Salt, to taste
• 3 tsp unsalted butter (more if necessary)
• 8 slices challah, brioche or other egg bread, cut 1-inch thick
• Maple syrup and jam, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a bowl.

Melt a teaspoon of the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Soak 2 slices of bread at a time in the batter for about 1 minute, pressing down on the bread so that it absorbs the batter. Cook in the skillet until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Serve immediately with syrup or jam or keep warm, loosely covered with foil, in a 200 F oven while cooking the remaining slices.
