Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bread
  • 2 eggs
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

Method
 

  1. Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon together in a shallow dish.
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Dip each slice of bread into the custard, coating both sides.
  4. Cook the bread for two to three minutes per side until golden.
  5. Repeat with the remaining slices.
  6. Stack and serve with a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

Slightly stale bread soaks up the custard best without falling apart.
