Ingredients

• 2 egg
• 240 ml milk
• 100 g sugar
• 2 ml vanilla extract
• 115 g butter
• 8 bread (thick slices about 2 cm, day-old; whole-grain toast or baguette)
• 30 ml maple syrup
• 300 g mixed berries (frozen, warmed, or fresh if in season)

Steps

1. In a wide shallow bowl, whisk together egg (2), milk (240 ml), sugar (100 g), and vanilla extract (2 ml) until the sugar dissolves.
2. Heat a pan over medium and melt a quarter of the butter (115 g).
3. Dip bread (8) in the custard, letting each slice soak ⏲ 30–45 seconds per side until saturated but still holding together.
4. Fry 2 slices at a time until golden brown on both sides, ⏲ 3 minutes per side, adding the next quarter of the butter between batches. Keep finished slices warm on a wire rack in a low oven (about 90°C) while you cook the rest.
5. Serve right away with maple syrup (30 ml) and mixed berries (300 g).
