Ingredients

  • 2 eggsEggs
  • 120 g (4.2 oz)Milk
  • 160 g (5.6 oz)White bread (crusty loaf)
  • 20 gButter
  • 4 gVanilla extract
  • 2 gCinnamon (sticks or ground)
  • 4 gSugar
  • 80 g (2.8 oz)Maple syrup

Plus water, salt and pepper from your pantry.

Instructions

  1. Whisk the egg, milk and any optional flavorings in a bowl until fully combined and no streaks of egg white remain.
  2. Heat a frying pan, skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
  3. Grease the pan with the butter.
  4. Soak each side of the bread in the egg mixture just until coated and it has absorbed a little. Soft bread needs only a quick dip; sturdier bread can soak a few seconds longer, without falling apart.
  5. Cook, turning once, until both sides are browned and the inside is cooked through with no runny egg.
  6. Serve on plates with toppings of your choice, such as maple syrup.
