Serves: 6   Total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 12 slices sandwich bread (about 360 g)
• 6 large eggs (about 300 g without shells)
• 1 1/2 cups milk (about 360 g)
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon (about 5 g)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla (about 5 g), optional
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (about 3 g)
• Butter for the skillet (about 14 g)
• 3 cups berries or sliced fruit (about 450 g), for serving
• Maple syrup (about 60 g for 1/4 cup), optional

Directions

1. Cut each slice of bread into 3 wide strips, or cook the slices whole and cut them afterward if that feels easier.
2. Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, optional vanilla, and salt in a shallow bowl.
3. Melt a little butter in a large skillet or on a griddle over medium heat. Dip the bread briefly in the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off.
4. Cook in batches for about 2 minutes per side, until golden and the egg mixture is cooked through. Serve with fruit and optional maple syrup.
5. To freeze extras, cool them completely, freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat in the toaster oven or air fryer.
