Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well blended. Add the milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are incorporated.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Soak the Bread

    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. While the skillet is heating, take each slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow excess mixture to drip off.

  2. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the heated skillet. Once melted, place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.

Serving

  1. 4

    Serve

    Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy!
