Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined and slightly frothy.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and foam before adding the bread.

  2. 3

    Soak the Bread

    Dip each slice of thick-cut bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Let any excess drip off.

  3. 4

    Cook the French Toast

    Once the pan is hot and the butter is bubbling, carefully place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp.

  4. 5

    Serve

    Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve hot. Drizzle with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
