Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Soak the Bread

    Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side to absorb the mixture.

  3. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    In a skillet or griddle, melt butter over medium heat. Place the soaked bread slices on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve warm with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
