Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons Sugar
- 4 pieces Bread Slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- Maple Syrup (Optional, for serving)
- Powdered Sugar (Optional, for garnish)
- Fresh Fruit (Optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a shallow bowl or pie dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, letting it melt and coat the surface.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated, but do not leave it in the mixture too long to avoid sogginess.
Place the coated bread slice onto the skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread, adding the remaining butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all the French toast slices are cooked, serve them immediately with your choice of maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit for garnish.
