Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well beaten. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the eggs, and mix until fully combined.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Dip the Bread

    Take one slice of bread and dip it in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow excess mixture to drip off before placing it in the skillet.

  2. 4

    Cook the Bread

    Place the coated bread slice on the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.

  3. 5

    Repeat

    Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate and Serve

    Once all slices are cooked, plate them up and serve warm. Top with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh berries as desired.
