Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick bread (like brioche or challah)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup maple syrup (for serving)

Fresh fruits (like berries or banana slices, optional)

Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth and well combined.

    Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 30 seconds on each side until well coated but not falling apart.

      Heat the Pan: In a large non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until bubbling.

        Cook the Bread: Add the soaked bread slices to the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove the cooked slices from the skillet and keep warm.

          Caramelize: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Let it melt and bubble for about 30 seconds, then return the cooked french toast to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes on each side to get a caramelized coating.

            Serve: Plate the caramelized French toast, drizzle with maple syrup, and add fresh fruits on top. Dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch.
