Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Custard Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Place the thick-cut slices of bread in a shallow dish or plate that is large enough to hold all the slices. Pour the custard mixture over the bread, ensuring each slice is well-coated. Allow the bread to soak for about 5 minutes on each side.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of unsalted butter and let it melt, coating the surface of the pan.

  2. 4

    Cook the French Toast

    Once the butter is melted and bubbling, carefully place the soaked bread slices into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. You may need to add more butter as you cook additional batches.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Remove the French toast from the skillet and transfer to plates. Top with a generous pat of whipped butter and drizzle with maple syrup to taste.
