Quick and Easy French Toast

A quick and easy French toast recipe that has all of the things we like about French toast! The crispy edges, the soft eggy middle, and the buttery taste that a good brioche gives us.

Ingredients

• 8 slices of thick. hearty bread (Brioche is my favorite for French toast)

• 1.5 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice (alternatively you can use ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, but I recommend going with pumpkin pie spice as it lends a more complex flavor)

• ¼ cup milk (Use 2% or full fat for best results)

• butter for frying (I end up using about 1.5 tablespoons for all 8 slices)

• fruit for topping

• maple syrup to taste

Instructions

1. Heat large nonstick skillet on medium/high and add butter to melt.

2. In a shallow dish, whisk eggs and milk together until combined.

3. Add pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon and stir to combine. 

4.  One by one, dredge the slices in the egg mixture. Place soaked slices on a cutting board for a few seconds so that the mixture has time to absorb a little bit (this makes for a much better toast in the end)

5. Arrange the soaked pieces of toast in the skillet and cook on each side for about a minute to a minute and a half, they are done when its crispy on the edges and has browned a bit. 

6. Top with berries, maple syrup

7. Enjoy! French toast is best eaten fresh.
