– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 8 slices of bread (Brioche or Challah work best)
– Butter, for cooking
– Maple syrup, for serving
– Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Creating the Best French Toast is a simple process. Here’s how to ensure success:
1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
2. Dip the Bread: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.
3. Cook the Toast: Place the soaked bread slices into the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
4. Repeat: As you finish cooking the first batch, you may need to add a little more butter to the skillet for the next batch.
5. Keep Warm: If needed, place cooked French toast slices on a baking sheet in a warm oven while you finish cooking the remaining slices.
6. Serve: Once all slices are cooked, serve immediately topped with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
Following these easy steps will guide you through perfecting your French toast every time.
