Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Take the thick-sliced bread and set it aside. Make sure the slices are uniform for even cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it sizzles.

  2. 4

    Dip the Bread

    Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side to absorb the mixture.

  3. 5

    Cook the French Toast

    Place the soaked bread slices in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter to the skillet as needed.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a plate. Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh berries if desired.
