Ingredients

6 to 8 slices thick bread, challah or brioche bread
2 large eggs
2 egg yolks
¾ cup Milk
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
unsalted butter for cooking.
Your favorite syrup and fruit for serving.

Steps

1
If the bread is not stale, let it sit on a baking sheet for an hour or so to harden it up a little bit.
2
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs & yolks, milk, sugar, cinnamon, salt and vanilla, until foamy and smooth. Set aside.
3
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
4
Place a small amount of butter (enough to coat the bottom of the skillet when melted) in the skillet and melt.
5
Place 1 or 2 slices of bread at the time in the bowl with the egg mixture, turning, until saturated. Do not soak!
6
When butter is just melted and bubbling, add bread slices in batches, cooking until they’re golden brown and crisp, a couple of minutes per side.
7
Serve immediately, or transfer to the oven to keep warm while cooking remaining bread.
8
Top with maple syrup, berries, jam, sliced bananas, or whatever you'd like.
