How to Make Amber S French Bagels French Toast

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. Slice bagels in half horizontally. If desired, lightly toast the bagel halves for a crispier texture.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Dip each bagel half into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
  5. Place the coated bagels in the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh berries, or chocolate chips.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
