1
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, crack the 4 eggs and whisk them until well beaten. Add the 1 cup of milk, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1 tsp of ground cinnamon. Whisk until all ingredients are combined and the mixture is smooth.
2
Soak the Bread
Take each slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 15-20 seconds on each side. Ensure that the bread is well coated but not overly soggy.
3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or griddle, melt 2 tbs of butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to foam and then become slightly golden, indicating that it is hot enough for cooking.
4
Cook the French Toast
Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.
5
Serve
Once cooked, plate the French toast and drizzle with maple syrup. Dust with powdered sugar and top with fresh berries if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
