  • 2 large eggs
  • 25 cl milk about 1 cup

  • 1 packet vanilla sugar or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 25 g butter about 2 tablespoons

  • to taste optional spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, or orange zest)

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth. Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to whisk. Add a pinch of salt and any optional spices.

Notes

Use slightly stale bread for better absorption of the egg mixture without falling apart. If using fresh bread, consider toasting it lightly beforehand. Customize toppings to your liking—maple syrup and fresh berries are classic favorites, but feel free to try caramel sauce or whipped cream for a special treat. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet for best results.
