Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 slices raisin bread
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter for cooking
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sugar until fully combined and smooth.
- Dip the bread slices: Take each slice of raisin bread and dip it into the egg mixture, allowing each side to soak up the liquid to coat but not become soggy.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and melt the butter, making sure it coats the surface evenly.
- Cook the bread: Add the soaked bread slices to the hot skillet and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until each side is golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Serve: Remove the French toast slices from the skillet and serve warm with maple syrup and fresh fruit on the side according to your preference.
Notes
- Using thick slices of raisin bread yields the best texture for French toast.
- For extra sweetness and a pretty presentation, sprinkle powdered sugar over the finished French toast.
