Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 slices thick-sliced bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • powdered sugar for dusting
  • maple syrup for serving

Equipment

  • shallow dish
  • whisk
  • large non-stick skillet or griddle

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add one tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
Cooking the French Toast
  1. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly saturated.
  2. Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Add the remaining butter to the skillet as needed for subsequent batches, repeating the dipping and cooking process for all bread slices.
Serving
  1. Serve the French toast immediately, dusting with powdered sugar and drizzling with maple syrup as desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, use challah or brioche bread. Adjust sugar and cinnamon to your taste. Serve with fresh berries or whipped cream for a more decadent treat.
