Ingredients
Bread and Egg Mixture
- 6 slices raisin bread
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar
For Cooking and Serving
- 1 tablespoon butter for cooking
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined and smooth.
- Dip the bread slices: Take each slice of raisin bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly soggy.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and melt the butter until it starts to foam but not burn.
- Cook the French toast: Add the coated bread slices to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until each side is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm: Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately topped with maple syrup and your choice of fresh fruit for a delicious breakfast.
Notes
- Use thick slices of raisin bread as they provide the best texture and absorb the egg mixture well.
- Sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the French toast for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
- Fresh fruit like berries, banana slices, or orange segments pairs wonderfully with this recipe.
- Make sure the skillet is at medium heat to ensure the toast cooks evenly without burning.
