Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices raisin bread
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the custard mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined and smooth, forming the custard base for the French toast.
- Dip the bread slices: Take each slice of raisin bread and immerse it fully into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak briefly to absorb the flavors without becoming too soggy.
- Cook the French toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a pat of butter. Place the soaked bread slices into the buttered skillet and cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from skillet and serve hot with syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings to enhance the sweet and warm cinnamon flavor.
Notes
- Use thick-sliced raisin bread for best texture and to hold custard well.
- For a warmer holiday flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the custard mixture.
- Ensure the skillet is properly heated and butter is melted before adding bread to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, as French toast tends to lose crispness if left to sit.
