Ingredients
French Toast Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Bread and Cooking
- 6 slices raisin bread
- 1 tablespoon butter for cooking
To Serve
- Maple syrup
- Fresh fruit (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sugar until fully combined and smooth.
- Dip the bread: Take each slice of raisin bread and immerse it fully in the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly without soaking it to sogginess.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
- Cook the bread slices: Place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm: Transfer the cooked French toast to serving plates and serve immediately with maple syrup and fresh fruit for a deliciously sweet and satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- Using thick slices of raisin bread produces a better texture and holds up well to soaking.
- Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation flair.
- Fresh fruit such as berries or banana slices complement the dish beautifully.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your stove heat to avoid burning.
