Equipment
- Griddle, electric skillet, or shallow skillet
Ingredients
- 8 slices bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Optional Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for sifting over
- Maple syrup or pancake syrup
- fresh berries
- sweetened whipped cream
- butter
Instructions
- Preheat and lightly butter a non-stick griddle or large, shallow skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a medium bowl, crack your eggs and beat lightly with a fork or whisk.
- Add the remaining ingredients and beat the mixture again until all the spices are blended throughout the egg mixture.
- Once your surface is hot, dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, flipping to coat both sides of the bread. Allow the excess mixture to drip back into the bowl.
- Place the bread on the hot surface and cook on each side for approximately 2 minutes, or until the egg is cooked and just browned. Continue the same process with the remaining slices of bread.
- Remove the French Toast slices from the heat and place on individual plates or a platter for serving. Serve while still warm with any optional toppings listed above.
Notes
You can use your everyday pullman-style bread or a gourmet brioche. Whatever you have on-hand or care to purchase just for this occasion will work.
Any milk should work - almond milk, 2%, whole milk… I use whole milk for my French Toast.
This freezes beautifully. Just place pieces of wax paper in between the pieces of the already cooked French Toast. Wrap them well in 1 or 2 layers of plastic wrap, then place in a freezer zip-top bag or freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Be sure to label your packaging with the contents and the date you place in the freezer. To thaw, place the pieces in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days, then reheat in the microwave or gently rewarm on a griddle or in the oven, just until warmed through.
