Ingredients

  • White bread6 slices
  • Eggs3 pcs
  • Milk120 ml
  • Sugar2 tbsp
  • Vanilla extract1 tsp
  • Cinnamon0.5 tsp
  • Butter30 g

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a wide, shallow bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with a fork until yolks and whites are fully mixed. Add milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Stir well.

    Tip: A shallow bowl like a soup plate makes it much easier to dip the bread slices.

  2. 2

    Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add half the butter and let it melt until it starts to foam.

    Tip: Medium heat means the dial is roughly in the middle. If the butter burns and turns brown, the pan is too hot.

  3. 3

    Take one bread slice and lay it flat in the egg mixture. Let it soak for 15 seconds, then flip and soak the other side for 15 seconds.

  4. 4

    Place the soaked bread in the hot pan. Cook 2-3 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown. Flip with a spatula and cook 2 minutes on the other side. Repeat with remaining slices.

    Tip: Peek at the underside by lifting a corner with the spatula. Golden brown is the target - not pale, not dark.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately while warm. Top with honey, powdered sugar, fresh fruit or maple syrup.

Cooking methods

On the stove

Non-stick pan on medium heat (gas dial at 4–5). Melt butter until foaming. Cook 2–3 minutes per side. Gas gives quick flame control if bread browns too fast - reduce immediately.

On induction

Level 5–6. Preheat 2 minutes. Induction gives very even browning - every slice will look the same. Reduce one level after 2–3 slices as pan retains heat.

Over an open fire

Cast iron pan over medium embers. Adds a subtle smoky note that works beautifully with the cinnamon and vanilla. Watch carefully - bread chars quickly over open fire.
