Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 slices thick-cut bread (Brioche or Texas Toast)
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
For Serving
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh berries
Instructions
- Preheat Griddle: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium heat to ensure even cooking and a nice golden finish on the French toast.
- Prepare Custard Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Dip the Bread: Dip each slice of thick-cut bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides fully and allowing the bread to soak slightly to absorb the custard.
- Melt Butter on Griddle: Place butter on the hot griddle and allow it to melt and spread evenly to prevent sticking and add rich flavor.
- Cook French Toast: Place the coated bread slices on the griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and develop a crispy exterior.
- Serve: Remove the French toast from the griddle and serve immediately with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh berries for a complete and flavorful breakfast experience.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bread like brioche or Texas toast for best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the cooking time slightly depending on the thickness and moisture of the bread slices.
- Keep the griddle at medium heat to avoid burning the exterior before the inside cooks through.
- For a richer flavor, substitute heavy cream for the whole milk entirely.
- Fresh berries can be any seasonal variety like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries.
