Ingredients
- White bread6 slices
- Eggs3 pcs
- Milk120 ml
- Sugar2 tbsp
- Vanilla extract1 tsp
- Cinnamon0.5 tsp
- Butter30 g
Instructions
- 1
In a wide, shallow bowl, crack 3 eggs and beat them with a fork until yolks and whites are fully mixed. Add 120 ml of milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir well.
Tip: A shallow bowl like a soup plate makes it much easier to dip the bread slices.
- 2
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 15 g of 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
Take one of the 6 bread slices and lay it flat in the egg mixture. Let it soak for 15 seconds, then flip and soak the other side for 15 seconds.

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.

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.
