Easy Maple French Toast Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of bread (such as brioche, challah, or French bread)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup, plus extra for serving
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Butter or oil for cooking
• Optional toppings: Fresh berries, sliced bananas, chopped nuts, powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

   • In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined. This mixture will serve as your French toast batter.

2. Dip the Bread:

   • Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly. Allow the bread to soak for a few seconds to absorb the liquid.

3. Cook the French Toast:

   • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
   • Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet or griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip the slices carefully using a spatula to ensure even cooking.

4. Serve:

   • Once cooked, transfer the French toast slices to serving plates.
   • Drizzle with additional maple syrup if desired.
   • Serve hot, optionally topped with fresh berries, sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

5. Enjoy:

   • Enjoy this easy and delicious maple French toast as a comforting breakfast or brunch treat!

Note: You can customize this French toast recipe by using different types of bread or adding additional flavorings such as orange zest, nutmeg, or a splash of rum extract to the egg mixture.
