Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Batter

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Take your thick slices of bread and set them aside, ready for dipping.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet or griddle, melt the butter over medium heat until it is bubbly but not browned.

  2. 4

    Dip the Bread

    Dip each slice of bread into the egg batter, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not soaked.

  3. 5

    Cook the Bread

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

  4. 6

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately with your choice of toppings such as syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
