Method

Bread Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Choose thick slices of your favorite bread. You can use challah, brioche, or any hearty bread. Allow the bread to sit out for a few minutes to dry slightly.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a large skillet or frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it sizzles but does not brown.

Egg Mixture

  1. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

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

  2. 4

    Soak the Bread

    Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring that both sides are coated. Let the bread soak for a few seconds to absorb the mixture.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Cook the French Toast

    Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet with melted butter. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  2. 6

    Repeat and Adjust Heat

    Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning and repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread. Add more butter to the skillet as needed.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the French Toast

    Once cooked, transfer the French toast to plates. Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit as desired.
