📖 Instructions

1. First things first, gather your ingredients. Make sure everything is at room temperature. This helps with even cooking and consistency. Trust me on this one!
2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon. I like to use a pinch of nutmeg as well for a deeper, warmer flavor. It’s a personal touch.
3. Now, for the bread: Cut your Texas toast into 2-inch squares. If you're feeling extra fancy, use a cookie cutter to get those perfectly round sliders. It's just a bit more effort, but the visual appeal is worth it.
4. Dip each bread square into the egg mixture, making sure it gets nice and saturated. Don't soak it, though! That leads to soggy sliders, and that’s a tragedy. I learned that the hard way, let me tell you.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a pat of butter (or your preferred cooking spray) to the pan. Once the butter is melted and foamy, it’s time to cook.
6. Carefully place the bread squares in the hot skillet, ensuring you don’t overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning, especially if your heat's a little too high. You want a nice, even golden-brown color, not some charred mess!
7. Once cooked, remove the French toast squares from the pan and set them aside on a wire rack to cool slightly. This allows for excess moisture to evaporate, resulting in crispier sliders.
8. Now, for the fun part: assemble the sliders! Spread a thin layer of your favorite jam (or Nutella, if you're feeling naughty!) between two French toast squares. You could also sprinkle with powdered sugar, or drizzle with some maple syrup (my personal fave!).
9. Once you have assembled your delightful French toast slider masterpieces, you can either serve them immediately or prepare them for later consumption. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready for a sweet treat!
10. For serving, I suggest adding a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of syrup, and maybe even a sprinkle of fresh berries! (Ooh, a little mint, too!). It adds a touch of elegance, you know?
11. Enjoy your irresistibly delicious French toast sliders! They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a delightful dessert. So there you have it! My secret to ridiculously easy, yet scrumptious, French toast sliders. Enjoy!
