Classic French Toast with Maple Syrup and Fresh Fruit
Golden, custardy French toast with a warm hint of vanilla and cinnamon makes for a comforting dessert or indulgent breakfast. Finished with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit, each slice is crisp at the edges and soft in the center.
Follow the steps below to cook the desired recipe
1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined and smooth.
2. Place the bread slices on a plate or tray and pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish wide enough to fit each slice.
3. Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side without becoming soggy.
4. Melt the butter in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat, swirling to coat the surface evenly.
5. Cook the soaked bread slices for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until each side is deep golden brown and lightly crisp.
6. Reduce the heat slightly if the bread browns too quickly, and add a little more butter as needed between batches.
7. Transfer the French toast to serving plates and let it rest for a minute so the center finishes setting.
8. Top with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh fruits before serving warm.
