Let’s make it

Whisk the custard
In a shallow dish, whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla until well combined.
A quick little dip
Dip each bread slice into the custard for about 15 seconds per side. Let excess custard drip back into the dish.
Make it golden
Heat half the butter in a large pan over medium-low heat. Cook two slices for about 3 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second, until golden and set in the center. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread.
Breakfast is ready
Serve immediately with berries and maple syrup. Cut thick pieces in half to check the custard is cooked through.

Kitchen tip: Slightly stale bread soaks up custard without falling apart. Lower the heat if the outside browns before the middle sets.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan over low heat or in the oven until hot.
