Ingredients

4 slices of thick bread (e.g., brioche or challah)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (or cream for extra richness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

Pinch of salt

Fresh fruit (e.g., sliced bananas or strawberries) for topping

Maple syrup for serving

Instructions

Prep the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

    Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Let them soak for about 2-3 minutes to absorb the batter.

      Caramelize the Sugar: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is sizzling, add the brown sugar and stir until it begins to bubble and caramelize (about 1-2 minutes).

        Cook the Toast: Carefully place the soaked bread slices in the skillet, ensuring they sit in the bubbling caramel sauce. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and caramelized.

          Serve: Once cooked, remove from the skillet and place on a serving plate. Top with fresh fruit and drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness.

            Enjoy: Dig into your perfectly caramelized French toast and savor the delightful flavors!
