Ingredients
  

  • 4 Large eggs
  • 1 Cup Whole milk
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 Tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 8 Slices of day-old bread (brioche, challah, or any thick-cut bread words best
  • 2 Tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 1/4 Cup Maple syrup, warmed
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Egg Mixture:
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  • Soak the Bread:
    Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Allow the bread to soak for about 20 seconds per side to absorb the flavors.
  • Heat the Skillet:
    Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Let the butter melt and coat the surface evenly.
  • Cook the French Toast:
    Place the soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. You may need to cook in batches, adding more butter as needed.
  • Serve:
    Transfer the cooked French toast to a serving platter. Drizzle with warmed maple syrup and serve immediately.
