Ingredients

  • 2 thick (1-1⁄2 inch) slices Italian bread
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 1⁄4 cup half and half
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar (for serving)
  • Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, cinnamon and vanilla extract.

Make a slit halfway through each bread slice with a knife – this will be the “pocket” for the filling. Soak bread in the egg mixture for 5-7 minutes or until soggy, flipping half way through.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a Half Moon Cast Iron Griddle. Toast bread in the skillet for 7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until each side is lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
