Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Take the sourdough bread slices and set them aside. You can slightly toast them if you prefer a firmer texture.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until it is bubbling but not burnt.

  2. 4

    Dip the Bread

    Dip each slice of sourdough bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Do not over-soak, or the bread will become too soggy.

  3. 5

    Cook the French Toast

    Place the soaked bread slices in the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately with maple syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top.
