Some mornings just feel like French toast mornings. You know what I mean? When the air is quiet, the kitchen light is soft, and you crave something cozy and sweet. That’s when I reach for eggs, milk, and a bit of cinnamon.
What You’ll Need:
- 4 slices of bread (brioche if you’re feeling fancy)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter for frying
- Maple syrup for serving
How I Make It:
I whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla together in a bowl. Then, I dip each slice of bread in the mixture — not too long, just enough to soak up the flavor without falling apart.
In a pan, I melt butter and fry each slice until golden and slightly crisp at the edges.
I top it with a drizzle of syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and sometimes fresh berries. It’s breakfast magic in less than 10 minutes.
Why I Keep Coming Back to This Recipe:
It’s nostalgic, simple, and makes the house smell like happiness.
