Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to the pan and let it melt, coating the surface.
Step 3: Dip the Bread
Take slices of bread and dip each piece into the egg mixture. Ensure both sides are coated but do not soak them too long to prevent sogginess.
Step 4: Cook the French Toast
Place the dipped bread slices onto the heated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5: Serve
Once cooked, transfer the French toast to plates. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
Notes
Note 1: Bread Choice
For best results, use thick-cut bread like challah or brioche, as they hold the egg mixture better.
Note 2: Flavor Variations
Feel free to experiment with different spices such as nutmeg or add orange zest to the egg mixture for additional flavor.
Note 3: Leftovers
Leftover French toast can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast option.
