Ingredients
  

French Toast Ingredients:

  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter plus more for serving
  • 8 slices brioche bread challah or Texas toast
  • Maple syrup for serving

Cinnamon Streusel Topping

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a griddle pan or large skillet over medium-high heat, or an electric griddle to 350 degrees.
  • Make the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon and butter. Rub mixture between your pointer finger and thumb until the butter forms pea-sized pieces. Set aside.
  • Make the French Toast: In a shallow dish, use a fork or whisk to beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon.
  • Melt the butter on the heated griddle or skillet. Dip the bread in the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides evenly. Let some of the excess drain off, then place the bread slices on the hot griddle pan or in the hot skillet. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your griddle or pan. Top each slice of bread with about 1 tablespoon cinnamon streusel. Cook until browned on the first side, 2 - 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the second side is golden brown 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the French toast slices to a plate with the streusel side facing up. Sprinkle with an extra pinch of streusel while the French toast is still hot so it can melt. Repeat with the remaining batches, adding more butter to the griddle or pan if needed.
  • Serve with butter and maple syrup.
