Ingredients

Custard

3 eggs

¼ cup milk, whole or oat (60 ml)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon

1 pinch fine sea salt

To Cook

4 thick slices of bread, brioche or sourdough (about 200 g)

1 tbsp unsalted butter (15 g)

To Serve

3 tbsp pure maple syrup (60 ml)

½ cup fresh berries or sliced banana (about 75 g)

Notes

Bread choice matters: brioche gives a richer, more indulgent result. Sourdough adds tang and holds up better to soaking — also easier on digestion. Day-old bread works best; fresh bread can get soggy. To boost protein, swap whole milk for Greek yogurt thinned with a splash of milk — adds ~8g of protein per serving with almost no change to texture. Use real maple syrup, Grade B (foncé) has a stronger flavour and you need less of it.

Instructions

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.

3 eggs

¼ cup milk, whole or oat (60 ml)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon

1 pinch fine sea salt

Cooking

Dip each slice of bread into the custard, letting it soak for 20–30 seconds per side. You want the bread saturated but not falling apart.

4 thick slices of bread, brioche or sourdough (about 200 g)

Cooking

Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Cook the soaked slices for 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden and set through. Don't rush it — medium heat is key.

1 tbsp unsalted butter (15 g)

Serving

Plate immediately with maple syrup drizzled over top and fresh berries or banana on the side.

3 tbsp pure maple syrup (60 ml)

½ cup fresh berries or sliced banana (about 75 g)
