Ingredients
Scale
French Toast Mixture
- 4 slices of bread
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Cranberry Topping
- 1 cup of fresh cranberries
For Cooking
- Butter for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until fully combined, creating the custard base for the French toast.
- Dip the Bread: Take each slice of bread and thoroughly dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not soaked through.
- Heat the Pan: Place a skillet over medium heat and melt a knob of butter, preparing the surface for frying.
- Cook the French Toast: Fry the dipped bread slices in the buttered skillet, cooking each side until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Prepare Cranberries: In a separate pan, cook the fresh cranberries over medium heat until they begin to burst and release their juices, forming a warm cranberry topping.
- Serve: Plate the French toast slices and spoon the warm cranberry mixture on top. Serve immediately for a delicious breakfast experience.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for better absorption without becoming soggy.
- Adjust the sugar amount depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- Fresh cranberries add a nice tartness, but frozen can be used as well, just thaw before cooking.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg into the egg mixture.
- Serve with maple syrup or powdered sugar for added sweetness if desired.
