Ingredients for french toast
- 8 thick slices of bread (preferably brioche, challah, or French bread)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of your favourite milk
- ¼ cup Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup or Sugar Free Cinnamon Vanilla Syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter (for cooking)
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or your favorite jam.
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, your favourite milk, Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup or Sugar Free Cinnamon Vanilla Syrup, and salt until well combined.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, making sure to coat the entire pan surface evenly.
- Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture for a few seconds, ensuring that both sides are well-coated but not overly saturated. Allow any excess liquid to drip off before placing the bread in the skillet.
- Cook the French toast for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until lightly golden brown and soft. Be sure to keep the heat low to medium-low, allowing the bread to cook slowly and become tender without burning. Add more butter to the skillet as necessary, and continue cooking the remaining bread slices.
- Serve your soft Vanilla French Toast warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or jam. Enjoy your delectable breakfast or brunch treat!
A tip for you
For an even softer texture, you can use day-old bread, which will absorb the egg mixture better without becoming too soggy.
