The recipe
Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk them together.
- 2
Add 60 ml of milk, 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar, 0.25 teaspoon of cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and a few drops of vanilla extract to the eggs. Mix everything well.
- 3
Set a pan on medium heat (level 5 out of 10).
- 4
Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 0.5 tablespoon of butter to the pan and let them heat for about a minute.
- 5
Pour the egg mixture into a plate with raised edges for easier dipping.
- 6
Quickly dip both sides of a slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off for a couple of seconds.
- 7
Place the dipped bread in the hot pan and cook for about 1.5 to 2 minutes on the first side without moving it.
- 8
Check the edge of the bread to ensure it is not burning, then flip it over and cook for another 1.5 minutes on the other side.
- 9
Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the French toast and repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter and oil as needed between slices.
- 10
Serve with syrup as a topping.
Heads up — we had to guess a little:
- Inferred quantity for vanilla extract as 'a few drops' is vague.
