Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- ½ cup milk (use whole, skim, soy, almond, or coconut)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 slices bread
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
Instructions
- Whisk the egg and milk together in a medium bowl. Add the vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon and whisk until combined.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture and flip so both sides are fully coated. Let each slice soak for about 30 seconds.
- Melt the butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the bread and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Serve warm with syrup.

Notes
Whisk the egg well. Make sure the egg is fully beaten before adding the milk and spices. This keeps the custard smooth and evenly mixed.
Let the bread soak. Give each slice at least 30 seconds in the custard before cooking. Thicker slices need a little more time.
Preheat the skillet. Get the pan warm before adding the bread. A cold pan leads to uneven cooking.
Try a casserole version. Use croissants or leftover pastries, layer them in a small baking dish, pour the custard over the top, and bake for a single serving French toast casserole.
