1
Whisk the Custard Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined and slightly frothy.

2
Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the surface.
3
Dip the Bread
Take each slice of the thick bread and dip it into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not soaked.
4
Cook the Bread
Place the dipped bread slices onto the heated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5
Add More Butter
Add additional butter to the skillet as necessary for cooking the remaining slices.

6
Serve Hot
Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately with maple syrup drizzled on top. You can also add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or fresh fruits if desired.
