Equipment

Ingredients

8 slices Brioche bread you can substitute Texas toast
4 eggs
¾ cup whole milk
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 pats butter the real stuff
Your favorite toppings whipped cream, fresh berries, toasted pecans, etc

Instructions

Preheat your griddle to medium heat, about 350 F.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon. I prefer to put the ingredients into a large Mason jar, put the lid on, and shake it.
Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish such as a pie plate or 9" x 9" baking dish.
In a large shallow dish (I like to use a pie plate) whisk all the eggs, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon until combined.
Place the butter onto the hot griddle and spread out a bit.
Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture. Get them well-coated on both sides but don't let them sit there and get soggy. Transfer to the griddle.
Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, 2-4 minutes. Flip and cook another 2-4 minutes until the other sides are golden brown.
Remove and add desired toppings and serve.

Notes

I like to make my egg mixture ahead of time. I've found it's easier to do that in a Mason jar. Just add all ingredients, screw on the lid, and shake. I keep it in the fridge until I'm ready to cook. Just before I pour it into a dish to dredge the bread I give the jar another good shake or two to make sure everything is well-combined.
