• 4 thick slices of bread 
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 ½ tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

• Maple syrup

How To Make French Toast

1. Make the egg mixture: Whisk the eggs, water, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a large shallow bowl until the ingredients fully combine.

2. Coat the bread: Dip the bread in the egg batter one slice at a time and immediately cook that slice.

3. Cook the French toast: Melt butter in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Cook each battered bread slice for 2-3 minutes per side until crisp and golden brown.

4. Serve: As soon as you cook all of the slices, serve the French toast warm with fresh raspberries and maple syrup on top. Enjoy!

Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Make dairy-free French toast by using vegan butter instead of regular butter.
• Use stale bread to absorb the egg mixture better for the best texture.
• Don't oversoak the bread. Just dip it and cover it on both sides.
• Grease the pan with butter between cooking each slice.
• Serve the French toast with powdered sugar on top for a sweeter flavor.
• Double the recipe. This is the perfect French toast for two, so if you want to serve it to a crowd, double or triple the recipe.

Reheating: Reheat the French toast in the toaster oven for 5 minutes or in the oven at 350°F for 5-8 minutes until heated through. Add more reheating time for the frozen French toast.
