Ingredients
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 slices of bread (preferably day-old)
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
-
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
-
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
-
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated.
-
Place the coated bread onto the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
-
Once all the bread slices are cooked, sprinkle each with brown sugar and return to the skillet for a minute, allowing the sugar to melt and caramelize. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to create a crisp, caramelized exterior.
-
Remove from heat and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
-
For a richer flavor, use thick slices of bread like brioche or challah.
-
Adjust the amount of brown sugar depending on your sweetness preference.
