Ingredients
Scale
6 slices of thick-cut bread (like brioche or challah)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Butter, for cooking
Optional toppings: fresh berries, extra honey, lavender sprigs
Instructions
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, honey, dried lavender, vanilla extract, and salt. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the lavender to infuse.
Heat a lightly buttered griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Let excess drip off.
Place the coated bread slices onto the hot griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Ensure you use culinary-grade lavender, as other types may not be suitable for consumption.
For a stronger lavender flavor, you can steep the lavender in the milk for 10-15 minutes before combining with other wet ingredients. Strain out the lavender before dipping the bread.
