I’m feeling extra blessed today for two reasons. My sister Mary is in the kitchen with me to show us one of her best recipes: buttery, golden brown French Toast! And most importantly, Mary is getting married this weekend, and I’m so incredibly overjoyed for her.
This French toast is sweet, but what’ll always be sweeter is the sister bond we’ll have forever!

Makes: 6 pieces of French toast
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
The Ingredients
6 thick slices of challah or brioche bread
3 large eggs
1/3 cup whole milk
1/3 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons salted butter
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
Topping ideas: more butter, berries, real maple syrup, powdered sugar
The Steps
To prepare: In a shallow bowl or dish (like a brownie pan), add eggs. Lightly beat. Add whole milk, buttermilk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Whisk until combined.
Dip 3 pieces of bread in egg mixture, letting bread sit in mixture for about 20 seconds per side.
To cook: In a large pan over medium heat, add 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. Let melt. Add bread to pan, and let cook until deep golden brown on each side (anywhere from 4-8 minutes depending on how hot your pan is).
Repeat process for other 3 slices of bread.
Serve immediately with more butter, berries (sautéed in the buttery pan for 1 minute), real maple syrup, and/or powdered sugar.
Enjoy with your sister, or someone you love!
