Description
A warm and satisfying breakfast treat packed with comforting flavors, perfect for starting your day with a deliciously irresistible boost.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread (preferably thick-cut, like brioche or challah)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Start by cracking a few eggs into a mixing bowl. The eggs are the foundation of your Morning Delight, providing richness and structure. Add a splash of milk for creaminess, and don’t forget a dash of vanilla extract for that warm, inviting aroma. Whisk it all together until it’s smooth and well combined, inviting that lovely frothy texture.
Sprinkle in some ground cinnamon to elevate the flavor profile. Cinnamon brings warmth and a touch of sweetness, making your Morning Delight even more irresistible. Mix it in well; you want every bite to be infused with this aromatic spice.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter until it’s bubbling but not browning. Now, take slices of your favorite bread—whether it’s fluffy brioche or hearty sourdough—and dip them into the egg mixture. Make sure they are coated evenly on both sides, allowing the bread to soak up that eggy goodness. This will create a perfectly tender interior for your toast.
Carefully place the dipped bread slices onto the hot skillet. Listen for that satisfying sizzle! Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Flip gently to maintain that beautiful crust you’re developing. Patience is key here; each piece is becoming a crispy, buttery treat that you’ll savor.
Once your French toast is beautifully golden on both sides, transfer the slices to a plate. This is your time to shine! Top them with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a sprinkle of fresh berries for a burst of color. Each topping will add a unique flair to your Morning Delight and make it visually stunning.
Notes
Serving Suggestion
Pair your Morning Delight with a side of crispy bacon or breakfast sausage for a savory complement.
Make-Ahead Tip
If you’re planning a brunch gathering, you can prepare the batter ahead of time and refrigerate it. Just give it a good whisk again before dipping your bread.
Creative Variations
Feel free to experiment with different spices or extracts! Nutmeg is a wonderful addition, or why not try almond extract for a nutty flavor?
