This recipe doesn't take long, but I recommend making it on the weekend when you have a little more time to enjoy it. Using one- to two-day-old bread is key for the best absorption of the egg-milk mixture. Otherwise, you may end up with soggy french toast. If you're using sourdough, note that the number of bread slices may vary since it's not a uniform loaf. IF you have leftovers, you can reheat in the toaster for a quick breakfast or snack, giving it a delicious crust.
8slicessourdough bread or low-fodmap gluten-free bread
1tablespoonbutter(plus more as needed)
100% pure maple syrup(to serve)
low-fodmap fruit(to serve)
Instructions
In a large shallow bowl or baking dish, add the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Heat butter on a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat.
Dip each slice of bread in the egg-milk mixture, soaking to coat both sides.
When the butter is bubbling, add a single layer of bread to the skillet. Cook until both sides are golden-brown, 2 - 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
To serve, top with maple syrup or fruit.
