1
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined and slightly frothy.
2
Prepare the Bread
Take your thick slices of bread and set them aside. You can use any type of bread you prefer, but brioche or challah works particularly well.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble.
4
Dip the Bread
Take each slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
5
Cook the French Toast
Place the dipped bread slices onto the skillet or griddle. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
6
Repeat
After the first batch is cooked, add the remaining butter to the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining bread slices.

7
Plate and Serve
Once all slices are cooked, serve the French toast warm. Top with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit as desired.
