Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Egg Mixture

    In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

  2. 2

    Add Other Ingredients

    Add the milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the egg mixture. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    In a large skillet or griddle, heat the butter over medium heat until melted and bubbling.

  2. 4

    Dip the Bread

    Take a slice of thick bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.

  3. 5

    Cook the Bread

    Place the coated bread slice in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.

  4. 6

    Repeat for Remaining Slices

    Repeat the dipping and cooking process for the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the skillet if needed.

Serving
