Recipe
Ingredients
- 10 slices thick sliced white bread (e.g. challah or French bread)
- 1 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1½ cups whole milk (room temperature)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
Instructions
- Rip up two slices of bread into large pieces and put in the bowl of a food processor with brown sugar and cinnamon. Pulse 8 - 12 times until finely ground. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- While griddle is heating, combine milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Pour into a pie pan, or similar shallow dish.
- Melt ½ tablespoon of butter in the griddle. Dip two slices of bread in the milk mixture for about 10-15 minutes a side. Sprinkle a tablespoon of crumb mixture across the top of the soaked bread.
- Flip the soaked bread crumb side down on the hot griddle. Sprinkle another tablespoon of crumbs on top. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes.
- Repeat with the remaining bread. Serve immediately
