1
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, crack the 2 large eggs and whisk until well beaten. Add 1 cup of milk, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, and 1 tbs of sugar. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
2
Prepare the Bread
Take 4 slices of thick bread and set them aside. You can use any type of bread, such as brioche, challah, or sourdough for a richer flavor.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or frying pan, add 2 tbs of butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and bubble, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan.
4
Dip the Bread
Take one slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Allow any excess mixture to drip off before placing it in the pan.
5
Cook the French Toast
Once the skillet is hot, add the dipped bread slice to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the pan if necessary.
6
Serve
Once cooked, place the French toast on plates and drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve immediately.
