Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bread white or whole wheat
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
  • Butter or cooking oil for the pan
  • Maple syrup powdered sugar, or your favorite toppings

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter:

  • In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon (if using). Mix until well combined.

Soak the Bread:

  • Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow excess to drip off.

Preheat the Pan:

  • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or cooking oil to coat the surface.

Cook the French Toast:

  • Place the soaked bread slices on the hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve Warm:

  • Once the French toast is cooked, transfer it to a plate.

Toppings:

  • Serve the French toast warm with your favorite toppings. Popular choices include maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Optional: Keep Warm in the Oven:

  • If you’re making multiple servings, you can keep the cooked French toast warm by placing it on a baking sheet in a preheated oven (around 200°F or 95°C).

Enjoy:

  • Serve immediately and enjoy your classic French toast!

Notes
