Classic French Toast

Ingredients

Eggs

4 large

Milk

1 cup

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon

White bread

8 slices (preferably thick-cut)

Unsalted butter

4 tablespoons (for cooking)

Maple syrup

1/2 cup (for serving)

Powdered sugar

for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined and frothy.
2. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
3. Dip each slice of white bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Allow any excess egg mixture to drip off before cooking.
4. Carefully place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.
6. Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar, if desired. For an added treat, top with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream.
