Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Batter

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Take your thick slices of bread and make sure they are slightly stale for better absorption of the batter.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet or frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble.

  2. 4

    Dip the Bread

    Dunk each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, but do not soak.

  3. 5

    Cook the Toast

    Place the coated bread slices into the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 6

    Repeat

    Add more butter as needed and repeat the process until all slices are cooked.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the French Toast

    Serve the French toast immediately on plates, topped with a dollop of whipped butter and drizzle with maple syrup to taste.
