Step 1
Whisk 2 eggs with 1/2 cup of the milk, 1 tbsp of the sugar and the 1 tsp vanilla until smooth.
Step 2
Dip each bread slice in the egg mix for 20 seconds per side until soaked through but not falling apart.
Step 3
Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the toast 2-3 minutes per side until deep golden and puffed.
Step 4
Meanwhile, spread the remaining 5 tbsp sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat and melt without stirring until deep amber, about 4 minutes.
Step 5
Off the heat, carefully whisk the remaining 1 tbsp butter and 1/4 cup milk into the caramel until smooth — it will bubble vigorously.
Step 6
Top the warm toast with 2 scoops ice cream per plate, drizzle over the warm caramel and scatter berries on top if you have them.
