1
Whisk the batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
2
Prepare the bread
Take your thick slices of bread (brioche or challah recommended) and set them aside on a plate or cutting board.

3
Heat the skillet
In a large skillet or frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
4
Dip the bread
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
5
Cook the French toast
Place the coated bread slices in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter as needed for subsequent batches.
6
Serve warm
Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and serve warm on plates.

7
Add toppings
Drizzle warm local syrup over the French toast, then add fresh berries on the side. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
