French toast, also known as “eggy bread” is a breakfast favourite, and this cinnamon and vanilla version is a classic. Slices of white, brown or raisin bread are covered in whisked eggs and milk, then cooked in the oven for about 30 minutes. Save time and soak bread ahead of time, keeping refrigerated until ready to bake.
Ingredients
- 6 slices white, whole wheat or raisin bread
- 1 tsp (5 mL) ground cinnamon
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup (125 mL) 1% milk
- ½ cup (125 mL) maple syrup or table syrup
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter or margarine
- 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
- Fruit, jam, maple syrup and / or whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Coat a 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) baking dish with melted butter.
- Step 2
Arrange the bread slices to fit in a single layer in the dish; sprinkle cinnamon over the bread.
- Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, syrup, butter, and vanilla just until blended. Pour mixture evenly over the bread, then flip each slice to soak up remaining egg mixture and ensure each piece of bread is evenly coated and saturated.
- Step 4
Bake, uncovered, until firm to the touch, about 30 minutes. Or, cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight before baking.
- Step 5
Serve with fruit, jam, maple syrup and/or whipped cream, as desired.
