Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a shallow dish, whisk the 3 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth and frothy.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and sizzling.

  3. Step 3

    Dip each of the 4 bread slices into the egg mixture, letting them soak for about 15 seconds per side until saturated but not falling apart.

  4. Step 4

    Place 2 soaked slices in the skillet and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden, another 2-3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer to plates and repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 2 bread slices.

  6. Step 6

    Top each serving with the 1 cup strawberries and 1/2 cup blueberries, then dollop with the 1/2 cup whipped cream.

  7. Step 7

    Dust with powdered sugar if you like, and serve warm.
