Cooking

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Batter

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the large eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Take the thick slices of bread and set them aside on a plate, ready for dipping.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    In a non-stick skillet or frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it is bubbling but not browned.

  2. 4

    Dip the Bread

    Dip each slice of bread into the egg batter, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side to absorb the mixture.

  3. 5

    Cook the French Toast

    Place the soaked bread slices into the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter as needed for the remaining slices.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Once cooked, serve the French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar if desired.
