Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices gluten free bread (sliced thick)
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter (for the pan)
Instructions
- Whisk ingredients: In a shallow bowl or baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Heat skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter completely to prepare the pan for frying.
- Dip bread: Dip about 2 slices of the thick gluten free bread into the egg mixture, making sure each side is well coated. Let the bread soak for about 45 seconds to absorb the custard mixture, adjusting soaking time to your desired moistness.
- Add to pan: Place the soaked bread slices onto the heated skillet and fry each side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Repeat with all bread: Continue dipping and frying the remaining slices, placing finished pieces on a wire rack to prevent sogginess. Alternatively, keep them warm in a preheated 200°F oven while cooking the rest.
- Serve: Serve the French toast warm topped with fresh fruit such as berries or banana, maple syrup, chocolate chips, butter, or your favorite accompaniments. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use thick slices of gluten free bread for best texture and absorption.
- Soaking time can be adjusted; longer soaking will yield more moist toast.
- Keeping cooked toast on a wire rack or in a low-temperature oven prevents sogginess.
- Feel free to customize toppings to your taste, such as nuts, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
