Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 frying pan or griddle
- 1 spatula
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 8 slices bread Any kind you prefer, such as brioche or sourdough.
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar Optional.
- as needed butter or oil For cooking.
- as needed maple syrup For serving.
Instructions
- Begin by cutting each slice of bread into quarters, creating bite-sized corners. Set them aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar (if using) until well combined.
- Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
- Dip each piece of bread corner into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully soaked but not overly saturated.
- Place the dipped bread corners onto the heated pan, making sure not to overcrowd it. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Once cooked, transfer the French Toast Corners to a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining bread.
- Serve warm with maple syrup or your choice of toppings.
