Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the 2 large eggs and whisk them until well beaten. Add the 1 cup of milk, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Allow it to heat up for a few minutes, then lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.

  2. 3

    Dip the Bread

    Take each slice of thick bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring that both sides are coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off before placing the bread in the skillet.

  3. 4

    Cook the French Toast

    Place the dipped bread slices into the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

  4. 5

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately. Top with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruits, if desired.
