Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.125 tsp salt
  • 4 slices thick-cut white bread
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions:

  1. In a shallow dish or pie plate, whisk together the 2 large eggs, 0.5 cup whole milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 0.125 tsp salt until the mixture is smooth.
  2. Place a slice of bread into the custard and soak for 10-20 seconds per side until saturated but not falling apart.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until the butter bubbles and smells nutty.
  4. Place the soaked bread in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the surface is mahogany-colored and crisp, ensuring the egg custard reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately with maple syrup or fresh berries.
