Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3/4 cups milk any kind
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 8 slices thick-cut bread artisan, brioche, etc.
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Cinnamon Sugar

Instructions

  • First, make cinnamon sugar topping by combining brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Then, whisk together eggs, milk, and maple syrup and set aside.
  • Submerge each slice of bread in the egg mixture and let sit for around 1 minute to really soak up all the goodness. Then, lift the bread out of the mixture and let excess egg drip off each piece of bread. Repeat.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium/low heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add around 1/3 of the French toast slices to the pan, making sure they are spaced out and not touching. Let cook for around 3 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
  • Flip French toast slices and turn the heat up to medium. Cook for 2-3 more minutes or until golden brown. Before removing from the pan, sprinkle on a generous amount of cinnamon sugar on each slice of French toast and flip. Let cook for 20 seconds and do the same thing on the other side.
  • Use a piece of paper towel to wipe your pan to remove the brown bits. Turn the heat back down to low/medium and repeat this process 2 more times or until all French toast slices are cooked.

Tips & Notes

  • Bread: we've made this recipe with all kinds of bread. Whole wheat bread works too, but we love a thick-cut piece of bread for French toast!
  • All stovetops vary, so make sure you start off cooking these on medium/low. The goal is to cook the egg and not burn them!
