Ingredients

4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
8 slice thick bread challah, brioche or sourdough
2 tbsp butter
2 cup berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
powdered sugar for dusting
maple syrup

Instructions

Whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon together in a wide, shallow container.
Heat large skillet or griddle, and melt butter.
Dip both sides of the bread in the egg mixture, ensuring it gets completely coated. Allow excess to drip off.
Place the bread on the hot skillet, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Add more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve warm topped with fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, and maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Prep Tips: Use day-old bread for better absorption of the egg mixture. If using fresh bread, lightly toast it first to prevent sogginess.

Storage: Best served fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet for best results.
