French Toast

I had been craving french toast for about a month and finally got around to making it for breakfast on Valentine’s Day. I think the key to awesome french toast is good bread! I used challah bread, and would also recommend brioche – both are buttery and chewy. If you can’t find those breads, french bread or cinnamon bread work fine too. I think thick slices of bread work best because thin slices get too soggy and mushy. Adding vanilla and cinnamon makes my version of french toast…
French Toast
Serves 2
5-6 slices challah bread, cut into 1-inch thick slices
2 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Maple syrup, for serving
Powdered sugar, for serving
Butter, for skillet
Beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a shallow dish or pie plate. Heat a skillet over medium to medium-high heat, melt 1/2 to 1 tablespoon butter (depending on how big your skillet is). Coat the bread slices on both sides in the egg mixture. Add to the skillet and cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar for a little extra sweetness. Serve with maple syrup.
