Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Egg Mixture

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Ensure that the eggs are fully beaten and the mixture is smooth.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Take your slices of bread and set them aside. You can use any type of bread you prefer, but thicker slices such as brioche or challah work best.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet or griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Allow it to coat the surface evenly.

  2. 4

    Dip the Bread

    Take one slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring that both sides are coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.

  3. 5

    Cook the French Toast

    Place the dipped bread slice onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side or until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

  4. 6

    Repeat Cooking

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

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate and Serve

    Once all slices are cooked, place them on a plate. Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and top with fresh berries as desired.
