Ingredients
-
8 thick slices of bread (Texas Toast or similar)
-
4 eggs
-
180 ml whole milk (3/4 cup)
-
12 g granulated sugar (1 tablespoon)
-
10 ml vanilla extract (2 teaspoons)
-
4.5 g ground cinnamon (1 1/2 teaspoons)
-
Butter, for greasing the griddle
Optional Toppings:
-
Whipped cream
-
Fresh berries
-
Maple syrup
Instructions
-
Preheat Griddle: Set your Blackstone griddle to medium heat (about 175°C / 350°F).
-
Make the Custard: Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
-
Butter the Surface: Melt butter on the griddle and spread it evenly to prevent sticking.
-
Dip the Bread: Coat each slice of bread in the custard mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
-
Grill the Toast: Place on the hot griddle and cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
-
Serve: Enjoy immediately with your favorite toppings or keep warm in a low oven.
Notes
Slightly stale bread is best for soaking without becoming soggy.
Avoid high heat to prevent burning before the inside cooks.
Try brioche or challah for a richer flavor.
Add a dash of nutmeg or citrus zest for variation.
Great for make-ahead breakfast—freeze and reheat as needed.
