In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly, and place them onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed. Transfer cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm.
In a separate small skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add pecans and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Sprinkle brown sugar over the pecans and drizzle in the maple syrup. Stir until the sugar melts and the pecans are evenly coated. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract (for whipped cream) until soft peaks form. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
To assemble, place a piece of French toast on a plate. Top with caramelized pecans, a generous handful of sliced strawberries, and a dollop of whipped cream.
Serve immediately and enjoy this indulgent breakfast treat!
