French Toast Ingredients

Method

French Toast Directions

  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

    Soak the Bread

    Dip each slice of thick bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.

  4. 4

    Cook the French Toast

    Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve warm. Drizzle with maple syrup, dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with fresh berries if desired.
