Ingredients
- 4 slice sourdough bread ((cut into 1 inch (2.5cm) thick slices and 6 inches (15cm) long))
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
- 1/4 cup (56 grams) brown sugar
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- a pinch salt
- 1/2 oz (1 tablespoon/ 15 grams) unsalted butter
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 195ºF (95º Celsius). Have a baking sheet ready.
- 2
Whisk together eggs, whole milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and salt. There’s no need to incorporate air, simply make sure that there are no streaks of egg.
- 3
Pour the egg mixture into a shallow pan that will snuggly fit all the bread in one layer.
- 4
Add the bread into the egg mixture and turn over until the bread has absorbed all the liquid.
- 5
While the bread is soaking, heat a non-stick pan or skillet (hopefully one that holds two slices comfortably) on medium low.
- 6
Add ½ of the butter and allow to foam up and almost brown then slide in two soaked slices of bread.
- 7
Cook for about 3 minutes. After a minute or so check underneath that it is not browning too quickly.
- 8
Flip the bread slices over and cook on the other side for 2 more minutes. Again, pay attention to the heat and adjust accordingly - if the french toast is cooking too quickly, reduce the heat; if it’s cooking too slowly, increase the heat.
- 9
Once done, transfer the french toast to the baking sheet and into the oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining bread.
- 10
Wipe out the pan with some kitchen paper, then add remaining butter and repeat heating the butter and cooking the french toast.

Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, and fruit - or your choice of toppings.
