Arme Riddere (Norwegian Cinnamon Toast)

• servings: 2 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

2 large eggs

2/3 cup (160 milliliters) milk

2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vaniljesukker (vanilla sugar) (or vanilla extract)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

1/4 teaspoon salt

4-6 white bread slices (1-2 days old, about 1 inch, 2.5 centimeters thick)

butter (for pan-frying)

fresh berries

whipped cream

strawberry, blueberry, or mixed berry jam

powdered sugar

Directions

In a large, wide bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt until evenly combined and the eggs are fully blended.

In a large skillet, melt about a teaspoon of butter over medium-low heat.

Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, soak one slice of bread in the egg and milk mixture for about 30 seconds per side.

Gently lift the slice of bread from the bowl, allowing any excess moisture to drip off, then place in the heated skillet.

Cook until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side. Adjust the heat between medium and low to create a golden color and thoroughly heated bread without burning.

Repeat with remaining slices of bread, adding additional butter to the pan as needed.

Serve immediately with fresh berries and other desired toppings.
