Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick-cut bread (brioche or challah work best)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tbsp unsalted butter

Maple syrup, for serving

Fresh fruit (such as bananas or berries), for garnish

Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.

    Soak the bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow the bread to soak for a minute, then set aside.

      Caramelize the sugar: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly in the skillet and let it melt for about 1 minute until it forms a syrupy consistency.

        Cook the French toast: Place the soaked bread slices into the skillet over the melted brown sugar. Cook each slice for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and caramelized, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

          Serve: Carefully remove the French toast from the skillet and transfer to plates. Drizzle with maple syrup, garnish with fresh fruit, and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
