How to Make Cajun French Toast

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Stir in ½ cup milk until well combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Dip slices of bread (challah, brioche, or Texas toast recommended) into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
Cook 2-3 slices of bread at a time in the hot skillet, for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
As each batch is cooked, add more butter or oil to the skillet as needed. Serve immediately with your favorite fruit toppings (strawberries, blueberries, bananas are all delicious options!).
