French toast with cinnamon sugar

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of milk
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 8 thick slices white bread (about 3/4 white sandwich bread, cut into 2cm slices)
• For serving: jam or natural maple syrup

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 120°C and place a rack over a baking sheet. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
2. In a glass pie dish or casserole, whisk the eggs and milk. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add about 1/2 tablespoon of butter, swirling the pan to coat the surface. Dip 2 slices of bread into the egg mixture and immediately place them in the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and cook until the bottoms are browned and crispy, about 4 minutes. If needed, add a nut-sized amount of butter to the pan and flip the toast over, cooking until golden brown on the other side, about 3 minutes more.
3. Serve the toast immediately or transfer it to a wire rack in a warm oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining bread and eggs. Serve with jam or maple syrup.
