Ingredients
Eggs
3 (whisked)
Milk
1/3 cup (whole or your choice of milk)
Sugar
1 tablespoon (granulated)
Vanilla Extract
1/2 teaspoon (pure or imitation)
Bread
4 slices (preferably thick-cut (like brioche or challah))
Ground Cinnamon
1 dash (for sprinkling)
Cooking Spray
as needed (for greasing the grill)
Instructions
1
Start by preheating your grill or skillet. Spray it generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking and allow it to heat for about 6 minutes.
2
In a medium shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3
Carefully soak each slice of bread in the egg mixture, ensuring that both sides are thoroughly coated. Let them soak for a minute to absorb the flavors.
4
Once the grill is hot, place the soaked slices of bread on the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and firm to the touch. Flip the slices carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked.
5
As the French toast finishes cooking, sprinkle a dash of ground cinnamon over the top for an extra burst of flavor. Serve hot with butter and maple syrup drizzled on top.
