# What You'll Need:

→ Egg Mixture

01 - 2 large eggs
02 - 1/2 cup whole milk
03 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Main

06 - 6 slices brioche or challah bread, 3/4 inch thick
07 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
08 - 1 tablespoon neutral oil, such as canola or vegetable

→ Toppings

09 - 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
10 - 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
11 - 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
12 - Powdered sugar, for dusting
13 - Maple syrup, for drizzling

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - In a shallow mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
02 - Place a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and add a mix of butter and oil to coat the surface.
03 - Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture for 20–30 seconds per side, ensuring full saturation without oversoaking.
04 - Transfer soaked bread to the heated skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
05 - Place cooked slices on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven to keep warm while preparing remaining slices.
06 - Arrange French toast on plates, top with fresh berries, dust with powdered sugar, and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Use slightly stale bread for optimal custard absorption and crisp texture.
02 - Toast fresh bread slices at 300°F for 12 minutes if not stale.
03 - Mix butter with oil to prevent burning and ensure even browning.
