Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until well combined. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon, and whisk until everything is fully incorporated.
- 2
Prepare the Bread
Take the thick slices of bread and set them aside. Ensure they are slightly stale for better absorption of the egg mixture.
- 3
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon slices. Cook until crispy, turning occasionally, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

Heat the Skillet
In the same skillet used for bacon, remove excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Lower the heat slightly and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
- 5
Dip and Cook the French Toast
Once the butter is melted and bubbling, dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Place the soaked bread into the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.

Serve
Once all slices are cooked, plate the French toast alongside the crispy bacon. Top with fresh fruit for a delicious breakfast.
