Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar (if using). Whisk until well combined.

Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let any excess drip off.

Place the coated bread slices onto the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary, adding more butter or oil as needed.

Step 7

Remove the cooked French toast from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate.
