Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-sliced bread
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0 to taste Maple syrup
- 0 optional, for dusting Powdered sugar

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined and smooth.
Step 2
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and allow it to melt completely, coating the surface evenly.
Step 3
Dip one slice of bread at a time into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off before transferring the bread to the skillet.
Step 4
Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Repeat for all slices of bread, adding the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed between batches.
Step 5
Serve the French toast immediately while warm. Top with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh fruit if desired.
