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

    Heat the skillet

    Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the surface.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Dip the bread

    Take one slice of thick bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.

  2. 4

    Cook the bread

    Place the coated slice of bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.

  3. 5

    Repeat

    Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the French toast

    Once all the slices are cooked, transfer them to a serving plate.

  2. 7

    Add toppings

    Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and top with fresh berries as desired.
