French Toast Ingredients

Method

French Toast Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

  2. 2

    Soak the Bread

    Dip each slice of thick-cut bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, and let it soak for a few seconds.

  3. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    In a non-stick skillet or griddle, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Protein

    If using bacon or sausage, cook them according to package instructions or to your liking while the French toast is cooking.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the French toast from the skillet, top with maple syrup, and serve with your choice of protein on the side.
