Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 slices slices of bread Sturdy, day-old bread works best
  • 2 large large eggs
  • 1 cup milk Can substitute with almond or oat milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Butter for cooking Used to coat the skillet
  • Maple syrup for serving For topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, crack the 2 eggs and whisk them together until well beaten. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon, mixing until fully combined.
  2. Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
  3. Take one slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 15-20 seconds on each side.
Cooking
  1. Once the pan is hot, gently place the soaked bread into the skillet. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side or until it becomes golden brown and crispy.
  2. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.
Serving
  1. Serve your Perfect French Toast warm, topped with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or even a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
