Equipment

Electric griddle

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Butter
8 slices challah bread or other thick sliced bread
4 eggs
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Add eggs to a medium bowl along with water, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar. Beat everything together with a fork until well combined.
Grease a hot griddle set at 350 degrees or a nonstick skillet placed over medium heat with butter, as needed.
Working with one slice at a time, dip slices of bread in the egg mixture, flipping it once to ensure each side is fully coated, and let the excess egg wash drip off. Place the wet French toast slices on the griddle and cook until golden brown on each side, flipping once. Repeat with remaining slices of bread.
Once golden brown on each side, place the slices on a plate and top with additional butter, maple syrup, and serve.

Notes

Your French toast can be served with maple syrup, powdered sugar, preserves, or fresh fruit.

Stale bread is often called for when making any classic French toast recipe. I do not recommend it for this recipe because stale bread requires more liquid to fully saturate it.
