Ingredients

  • 4 thick-cut slices of Texas toast* See notes below
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425℉.
  • Using a sharp serrated edge knife, cut each slice of thick-cut texas toast bread into 3 strips.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs (2 large), milk (½ cup), cinnamon (½ teaspoon), granulated sugar (1 teaspoon), and vanilla extract (2 teaspoons) for about 30 seconds until everything is incorporated.
  • Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, coating all sides with the egg mixture. Do not allow the bread to soak in the mixture, or you will have soggy bread. Tap off the excess mixture and place each strip on a wire rack to prepare for cooking.
  • Heat a large skillet to medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook 6 strips at a time until each side is golden brown (usually about 1-2 minutes). You may need to add more butter to the pan between batches to prevent from sticking.
  • Immediately after removing the strips from the pan, place the strips on a baking sheet and place in the hot oven for 10 minutes. This step is not mandatory, but one I prefer as it allows the strips to get a little more crispy.
  • Serve with maple syrup and enjoy!

Notes

* Bread that is on its way to getting stale works best as opposed to super soft fresh bread.
* I used whole milk, but you can use whatever milk you would like.
