French Toast Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Egg Mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.

    Dip the Bread

    Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

  3. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the soaked bread slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining bread and butter.
