Dessert
Vermont Style French Toast

• 6 slices of plain brioche bread
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk)
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon sugar (optional)
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon Vermont Grade A maple syrup
• 3 shakes of confectioners’ sugar
  

1. Crack eggs into a medium bowl.
2. Add vanilla extract, heavy cream, maple syrup, cinnamon powder, and cinnamon sugar (if using). Mix well.
3. Dip 1 slice of brioche into the mixture. Use a fork to poke 3 small holes so the liquid seeps in, then flip.
4. Adjust cinnamon to taste.
5. Once both sides are coated, cook the slice in a medium non-stick pan until lightly browned on both sides.
6. Stack the cooked French toast on a plate and lightly sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar.
7. Slice strawberries and blueberries to serve on the side.
8. Plate the French toast with fruit and finish with Vermont maple syrup to your liking.
