Ingredients
  

  • 8 thick slices bread
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Batter: Whisk together the eggs, almond milk, white sugar, and vanilla in a bowl.
  2. Soak the Bread: Working with one or two slices at a time, gently place the thick bread into the egg mixture. Allow each side to soak for about 20-30 seconds. The goal is for the bread to be thoroughly moistened but still hold its shape. Note: Thicker bread may need a slightly longer soak.
  3. Cook: Carefully transfer the soaked bread to a preheated, buttered pan or griddle. Cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the French toast is golden brown, cooked through, and has slightly crisp edges. Add more melted butter to the pan between batches as needed.
  4. Serve: Remove the finished French toast from the pan and serve immediately. This dish pairs excellently with toppings such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
