Method

Preparation of Egg Mixture

  1. 1

    Whisk the ingredients

    In a medium bowl, crack the egg and add the milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar. Use a whisk to beat the mixture until well combined and frothy.

Coating the Bread

  1. 2

    Soak the bread

    Take the slice of thick bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow it to soak for about 10 seconds on each side to absorb the mixture.

Cooking the French Toast

  1. 3

    Heat the skillet

    In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it is bubbling but not browned.

  2. 4

    Cook the bread

    Place the soaked bread slice in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate and garnish

    Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a plate. Drizzle with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar to taste. Serve immediately.
