Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sliced bread
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- for serving maple syrup (optional)
- for garnish powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
In a shallow bowl or pie dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well coated but not overly saturated.
Carefully place the coated slice onto the preheated skillet. Repeat with additional slices, cooking as many as can comfortably fit without overcrowding.
Cook each slice for 2 to 3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side.
Transfer the cooked French Toast to a serving plate and cover lightly with foil to keep warm. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet if needed and repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
Serve warm with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
