Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and smooth.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Take the thick sliced bread and set it aside on a plate or cutting board, ready for dipping in the egg mixture.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it is bubbling but not browning.

  2. 4

    Dip the Bread

    Carefully dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Let any excess mixture drip off.

  3. 5

    Cook the Bread

    Place the coated bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Add more butter as needed for the second batch.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately with toppings of your choice such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, or additional butter.
