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
• 0 Maple Syrup (Optional, for serving)
• 0 Powdered Sugar (Optional, for garnish)
• 0 Fresh Fruit (Optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow bowl or pie dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.

Step 2

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, letting it melt and coat the surface.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread, adding the remaining butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 6

Once all the French toast slices are cooked, serve them immediately with your choice of maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit for garnish.
