Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Bread:
- Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut each slice of bread into a heart shape.
Make the Egg Mixture:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
Dip the Bread:
- Dip each heart-shaped slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly but not soaking too long.
Cook the French Toast:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt butter. Cook each slice 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Serve:
- Plate the French toast and top with powdered sugar, maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream as desired.
Notes
Extra Flavor: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of orange extract to the egg mixture.
Make Ahead: Heart shapes can be cut in advance and stored in an airtight container.
Crispy Edges: Use slightly stale bread for the best texture.
Serving Idea: Pair with crispy bacon or sausage for a sweet-and-salty breakfast.
Kid-Friendly: Let kids help with cutting hearts for a fun activity.
