Method
Whisk together egg, milk3, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Cut bread into thick slices and dip each side in the egg mixture for 10–15 seconds.
Heat a skillet with butter6 over medium heat.
Cook the toast 2–3 minutes per side until golden and tender inside.
Transfer to a plate, top with berries.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
Tips
- Why it works
- Whisk the eggs with the milk on low speed so no foam forms, since it keeps the bread from soaking evenly. If you mix too fast, the toasts will be dry inside.
- Substitutions
- Use frozen berries instead of fresh, thawed first. Use regular sugar ground in a mortar instead of powdered sugar.
- Common mistakes
- If the toasts burn outside but stay raw inside, the heat is too high or the butter isn't hot enough. Check doneness after 1–2 minutes.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for no more than 1 day, but it's better eaten right away. Reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds under a lid so they don't dry out.
- Serve with
- Serve with tea or coffee on weekend mornings, when you want something festive but effortless.
