French Toast
Bread soaked in a sweet vanilla-cinnamon custard and fried until golden. Use slightly stale, thick bread for the best texture.

Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread
- 4 eggs
- 240 ml milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
- maple syrup
Method
- 1
In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined.
- 2
Heat a knob of butter in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- 3
Dip a slice of bread in the custard for about 5 seconds per side — long enough to soak but not so long it falls apart. Stale bread soaks better without going soggy.
- 4
Lay the soaked bread in the hot pan and cook until golden brown underneath, about 2-3 minutes.
- 5
Flip and cook the other side until golden and cooked through, 2 minutes more. Add more butter between batches.
- 6
Keep cooked slices warm in a low oven. Serve stacked, dusted with extra cinnamon, with maple syrup and fresh berries.
