Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick bread (such as French bread or brioche)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1-2 tablespoons butter for cooking
- Maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, or sliced bananas for topping (optional)
Preparation
1. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
2. Dip and Soak:
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt and coat the surface.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated on both sides but not soaking. Let any excess egg mixture drip off.
3. Cook the French Toast:
- Place the dipped bread slices in the hot skillet and cook until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a spatula to flip them over when they're nicely browned.
4. Serve:
- Transfer the cooked French toast to serving plates. Top with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, or sliced bananas, as desired.
- Serve your classic French toast while it's still warm and enjoy!
