A delightful twist on classic French toast using English muffins, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy.
Whisking the eggs thoroughly ensures a smooth custard mixture.
Add the milk, sugar, and cinnamon to the eggs and whisk until combined.
Mixing the ingredients well ensures even flavor distribution.
Pour the custard mixture into a shallow dish.
Using a shallow dish makes it easier to soak the muffins evenly.
Place the English muffin halves, cut-side down, into the custard mixture and let soak for 3 minutes. Flip and soak for an additional minute.
Allowing the muffins to soak ensures they absorb enough custard for a rich flavor.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add butter.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the muffins to achieve a golden crust.
Cook the soaked muffins, cut-side down, in the skillet until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 3 minutes.
Cooking each side evenly ensures a perfect texture.
Serve the warm muffins with maple syrup on the side.
Warm the syrup slightly for a more indulgent experience.
