YOUR
Grilled Vanilla French Toast
INGREDIENTS
6 eggs
¼ cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 cups half and half
One 9-to-10-inch loaf of brioche, challah or white sandwich bread,
sliced ¾ inch thick (about 12 slices), lightly toasted
Vegetable oil, for grilling
Butter and maple syrup or jam, for serving
DIRECTIONS
1. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. In a shallow baking dish,
whisk the eggs with the sugar, salt and vanilla extract.
Whisk in the half-and-half.
2. Working in batches, add the slices of bread to the egg
mixture and turn to coat; let stand until well soaked,
1 to 2 minutes.
3. Lightly oil the grill grates, then grill the soaked bread over
moderately high heat until dark brown grill marks form on
the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and grill for about
2 minutes longer, until the French toast is cooked through.
4. Transfer to plates and serve with butter and maple syrup or jam.
