French Toast with Bacon and Berries

Ingredients

• 4 slices thick bread slices
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 cup mixed berries
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the 4 bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

2. 2

   In a shallow dish, whisk together the 2 eggs, 0.5 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.

3. 3

   Dip each of the 4 bread slices into the egg mixture, letting them soak for about 15 seconds per side until saturated but not falling apart.

4. 4

   Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 2 soaked bread slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining butter and bread.

5. 5

   Serve the French toast topped with the crispy bacon, 1 cup mixed berries, and a drizzle of the 0.25 cup maple syrup.

6. 6

   Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or add a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
