Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a shallow bowl, crack the egg and whisk it until well beaten. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the bowl, and continue to whisk until all ingredients are fully combined.

  2. 2

    Soak the Bread

    Place the slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 30 seconds on each side, ensuring that the bread absorbs the mixture but does not become too soggy.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble slightly.

  2. 4

    Cook the French Toast

    Carefully place the soaked bread into the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate and Top

    Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a plate. Drizzle with maple syrup, add fresh berries, and sprinkle powdered sugar on top if desired.
