• 4 slices gluten-free sandwich bread Shop
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract Shop
• 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon Shop
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp maple syrup Shop

Instructions

1. 1 In a shallow bowl, whisk together the large eggs, milk, pure vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined and slightly frothy. This creates the rich custard base for your French toast.
2. 2 Gently dip each slice of gluten-free sandwich bread into the prepared custard mixture, allowing it to soak for approximately 15 seconds on each side. Ensure the bread is thoroughly coated but not overly saturated to prevent it from falling apart.
3. 3 Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat until it shimmers and begins to lightly foam. This ensures an even cooking surface and prevents sticking.
4. 4 Carefully place the soaked bread slices into the hot skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until each side is beautifully golden brown and slightly puffed. Listen for a gentle sizzle as they cook.
5. 5 Serve the golden-brown gluten-free French toast immediately, drizzled generously with maple syrup. A dusting of powdered sugar is an optional, delightful finishing touch.

Tips & Notes

• Use slightly stale gluten-free bread. It soaks up the custard without falling apart.
• Soak each slice only about 15 seconds per side, as step 2 says. Gluten-free bread gets soggy fast.
• Cook over medium heat so the custard in the center sets before the outside gets too dark.
