🥖 Ingredients
- 4 thick slices of bread (brioche or white bread works best)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for frying)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add butter.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well coated.

⭐ Tips
- Use slightly stale bread for the best texture—it absorbs the mixture better.
- Brioche or challah bread makes French toast extra soft and rich.
- Cook on medium heat so the outside browns without burning.
- Add fresh fruits like strawberries or bananas for extra flavor.
