Equipment

  • shallow dish
  • non-stick skillet
  • whisk
  • mixing bowl
  • spatula

Method
 

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
  3. Dip each slice of sourdough bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 10 seconds on each side, then transfer directly to the heated skillet.
  4. Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese and honey until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spread the ricotta mixture generously over each slice of the cooked bread.
  7. Top the ricotta with fresh berries and a light dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your cozy rainy day breakfast.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute the ricotta cheese with a plant-based alternative and use almond milk instead of whole milk.
