Ingredients

  • 6 cups milk / almond milk
  • 3 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup white sugar or brown sugar
  • 6 pinches ground cinnamon
  • 12 slices white toasted bread

Instructions

Toast the Bread:

  • Toast the white bread slices until they are golden brown and have a slightly crispy texture. You can use a toaster or toast them in a skillet with a little butter.

Heat Milk Mixture:

  • In a saucepan, combine the milk, white sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it’s warmed through. Do not boil.

Arrange Toasted Bread:

  • Place the toasted bread slices on serving plates or in individual bowls.

Pour Milk Mixture:

  • Pour the warm milk mixture over the toasted bread slices. Ensure that each slice is well-soaked but not overly saturated.

Sweeten to Taste:

  • If desired, you can add more sugar to sweeten the milk mixture to your liking. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar.

Sprinkle with Cinnamon:

  • Sprinkle ground cinnamon over each slice of milk-soaked bread. Adjust the amount according to your taste preferences.

Serve Warm:

  • Serve the milk toast while it’s still warm, allowing the flavors to meld.

Optional: Broil for a Crispy Top (Optional):

  • If you like, you can place the milk-soaked bread under the broiler for a minute or two to create a slightly crispy top. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Enjoy:

  • Indulge in this comforting and simple milk toast. The warm milk, sweetened with sugar and enhanced with vanilla, makes for a cozy and satisfying breakfast or snack.

Notes
