Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Whisk the Egg Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Take the slices of bread and set them aside on a plate, ready to be dipped into the egg mixture.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a non-stick skillet or frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.

  2. 4

    Dip the Bread

    Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Do not oversoak; just enough to coat the bread.

  3. 5

    Cook the French Toast

    Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 6

    Add More Butter

    After flipping the bread, add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet to ensure the second side cooks evenly and has a rich flavor.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the French Toast

    Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and place it on a plate.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle powdered sugar, and add fresh berries on the side. Serve warm and enjoy!
