Ingredients
- 8 slices brioche bread (can also use challah or other thick bread)
- 1 cup buttermilk*
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch salt
- Butter or cooking spray for cooking
- Maple syrup, berries, confectioners' sugar, butter, etc. for topping
Instructions
- Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt, in a wide, deep bowl until well combined.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and brush with butter or cooking spray.
- Working in batches, dip slices of bread into egg/milk mixture until well saturated and shake off excess liquid before placing on heated griddle.
- Cook each slice for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve french toast hot with maple syrup, butter, confectioners' sugar, berries, and/or your favorite toppings.
Notes
*If you don't have buttermilk, you can mix together ¾ cup milk + ¼ cup plain yogurt + 1 teaspoon lemon juice (or white vinegar) and let sit 5 minutes to thicken. Technically, you only need milk and an acid to make "soured milk," but I recommend adding the yogurt to add body to the mixture so it clings more like cultured buttermilk and coats the bread better.
