Method

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

    Preheat the skillet

    Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Dip the bread

    Take each slice of thick bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not soaked.

  2. 4

    Cook the French toast

    Place the coated bread slices onto the heated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Add more butter as needed.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the French toast

    Once cooked, transfer the French toast to plates. Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and add fresh berries on top as desired.
