Classic French Toast with Maple Syrup and Fresh Fruit
Golden, custardy French toast with a warm hint of vanilla and cinnamon, crisp at the edges and soft in the center. Finished with maple syrup, powdered sugar and fresh fruit.
Follow the steps below to cook the desired recipe
1. Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla extract and cinnamon in a shallow dish until smooth.
2. Lay the bread slices next to the dish; slightly stale, thick-cut bread works best.
3. Dip each slice in the egg mixture for 10–15 seconds per side so it soaks through without falling apart.
4. Melt half of the butter in a large non-stick pan over medium heat and swirl to coat.
5. Fry the soaked slices for 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden and lightly crisp.
6. Lower the heat if the bread browns too fast, and add the remaining butter before the second batch.
7. Move the toast to plates and let it rest for 1 minute so the center sets.
8. Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup and top with the fresh fruit. Serve warm.
