Method

Breakfast

  1. 1

    In a wide shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Warm a large skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter, swirling to coat the surface.

  3. 3

    Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture for about 15-20 seconds per side, allowing it to soak but not become soggy.

  4. 4

    Place soaked bread slices in the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, until golden brown, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

  5. 5

    Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining slices. Serve warm, optionally dusted with a pinch more cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup.
