Cinnamon French Toast for Two

Servings 2 people

Ingredients

  • 4 slices thick-cut cinnamon bread (or brioche)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. In a flat-bottomed dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Toss the butter into the skillet so it can start melting while the bread is dipped into the egg mixture.

  3. Take the first slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture. I like to flip it 3 times so each side is dipped twice. The entire dipping process should take about 20 seconds. Then, add the slice to the hot skillet. Repeat 3 more times with the rest of the bread. There should be no egg mixture left over. If there is, I like to pour a little on each slice in the pan before they're flipped.

  4. Once the first slice has cooked for 2 1/2 minutes, flip it to the other side. It should be golden brown. Repeat with the other slices, in the order they were put in the pan. Cook for 2 minutes on the second side, then turn off the heat. Serve with lots of butter and maple syrup!
