Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your favorite type)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- A pinch of salt
- Butter or oil, for frying
- Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar (if using), and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Soak the bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let the bread soak for a few seconds to absorb the mixture but not too long that it becomes soggy.
- Heat the skillet: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
- Cook the French toast: Place the soaked bread slices onto the heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Serve: Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately. Top with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
Enjoy your delicious and easy-to-make French Toast without Milk, perfect for a delightful breakfast or brunch that everyone can enjoy!
