5 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
grated zest of a lime, lemon, calamansi or tangerine
butter for griddle or pan

Heat griddle or pan to medium-high and grease with a small amount of butter.
2
Slice sweet bread into desired size slices.
3
Whisk together eggs, milk, and seasonings.
4
Dip slices of sweet bread into egg mixture, then cook on griddle for a minute or so on each size, until nicely golden.
5
Serve with coconut syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar.
6
Make a simple syrup: boil together sugar and water until dissolved.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
