1
Prepare the Bread
Cut the thick slices of white bread in half to create 6 halves. Set aside.

2
Whisk the Egg Mixture
In a mixing bowl, crack the 2 eggs and whisk them until well combined. Add 1 cup of milk, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or griddle, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until it is bubbly and starts to brown slightly.
4
Dip the Bread
Take each half of the bread and dip it into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Allow the excess mixture to drip off.
5
Cook the French Toast
Place the dipped bread halves onto the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.

6
Plate and Garnish
Once cooked, place the French toast halves on a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup on the side.
