Quick and delicious breakfast recipe that transforms a regular bagel into sweet maple french toast. Ready in just 9 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bagel (any variety)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together egg, milk, maple extract, and cinnamon until completely combined with no streaks.
  2. Slice bagel in half horizontally. Dip each half into the egg mixture, coating both sides and letting it soak for 5-10 seconds per side.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add butter, swirling to coat the pan as it melts.
  4. Place bagel halves cut side down onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until deep golden brown with slightly crispy edges.
  5. Flip bagel halves carefully and cook the rounded side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and egg is firm to the touch with no wet spots.
  6. Transfer to a plate and serve hot with maple syrup and powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Day-old bagels work better than fresh ones as they absorb the egg mixture without getting soggy. Toast fresh bagels lightly first.
  • Use real maple extract for authentic flavor. In a pinch, substitute with vanilla extract or a small amount of real maple syrup.
  • Can be frozen after cooking. Reheat in toaster or oven from frozen for quick breakfasts.
