Method
Preparing the Batter
- 1
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully beaten. Add the milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Soaking the Bread
- 2
Soak the Bread
Take each slice of the thick-sliced bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow the bread to soak for about 10-15 seconds per side, then let any excess batter drip off.
Cooking the French Toast

Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it is bubbling but not browned.

Cook the Bread
Place the soaked slices of bread into the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.

Repeat with Remaining Bread
Add more butter if necessary and repeat the soaking and cooking process with the remaining slices of bread.
