Cooking

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Dip the Bread

    Take 4 slices of thick-cut sourdough bread and dip each slice into the egg batter, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

  2. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter is sizzling, place the dipped bread slices in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  3. 4

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top, to taste.
