Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 8 slices of thick-cut bread
• Butter or oil for frying
• Maple syrup and powdered sugar for serving

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
2. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a pat of butter or a drizzle of oil and allow it to melt.
3. Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly. Allow any excess liquid to drip off.
4. Place the bread in the heated skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
5. Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
6. Serve the French Toast hot with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
