Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 thick slices day-old sourdough bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided

Method
 

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  2. Dip each bread slice into the custard, soaking for 30 seconds per side. Let the excess drip off.
  3. Melt 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the soaked slices in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deep golden. Repeat with the remaining butter and slices.
  4. Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup.

Notes

For a bright, citrusy twist, whisk in ½ teaspoon of orange zest along with the vanilla. It wakes up the whole dish.
