kcalIngredients
4 thick slices of bread (brioche, challah, or Texas toast work best)
2 large eggs
½ cup milk (or half-and-half for extra richness)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp sugar (optional)
Pinch of salt
Butter or oil, for the pan
Directions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar (if using), and salt.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, soaking both sides well but not letting it get too soggy.
- Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the bread slices for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Day-old or slightly stale bread works best for absorbing the custard without falling apart.
- For a richer flavor, use cream instead of milk.
- Add a sprinkle of nutmeg for a cozy twist.
