Ingredients

3 servings

•

⅓ cup half-and-half
•

5 large egg whites
•

2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
•

2 tablespoons brown sugar
•

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
•

¼ teaspoon lemon extract

•

¼ teaspoon salt
•

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, or more as needed
•

6 slices bread
•

½ cup maple syrup, or to taste
•

3 tablespoons whipped cream, or to taste

Instructions

Combine half-and-half, egg whites, confectioners' sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, lemon extract, and salt in a bowl; whip together with a whisk or electric whisk until well blended, about 30 seconds. Pour mixture into a large, flat container.
Put one bread slice in the container and flip so it is coated on both sides, almost saturated.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a frying pan over medium heat until sizzling. Add soaked bread slice to the pan; you can do more than one depending on the size of the pan. Fry until medium brown and edges are crispy, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Continue cooking in batches, dipping bread and frying, and adding butter as necessary.
Serve French toast with maple syrup and add whipped cream on top.
