1
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
2
Preheat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to melt.

3
Dip the Bread
Take each slice of thick bread and soak it in the egg mixture for about 10-15 seconds on each side, allowing the bread to absorb some of the mixture.
4
Cook the French Toast
Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Add more butter to the skillet as needed.

5
Plate and Serve
Once cooked, place the French toast on plates, dust with powdered sugar, and serve with maple syrup drizzled on top, to taste.
