How to Make Cozy French Toast

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy whipping cream, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth.

  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a little butter.

  3. Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, coating both sides but not soaking too long.

  4. Place bread onto the warm skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.

  5. Flip gently and cook until both sides are perfectly golden.

  6. Remove from heat and serve warm.

Why This Combo Works

“I allow comfort and ease into my day.”

Because nourishment starts before the first bite.

  • Use brioche, challah, or sourdough for next-level French toast.

  • Dairy-free? Use coconut cream or oat milk.

  • Serve with berries, powdered sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
