Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 4 slices Thick-sliced bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Transfer the egg mixture to a shallow dish wide enough to fit a slice of bread, such as a baking dish or pie plate.
Heat a large skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds on each side. Let any excess drip off before placing it in the skillet.
Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Remove the cooked French toast and keep it warm on a plate. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all the French toast is cooked, sprinkle with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup.
Serve immediately, optionally garnishing with additional cinnamon or fresh fruit if desired.
