In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch salt
Dip the slices of bread into the egg and milk mixture, making sure they are fully coated on both sides.
4 slices thick-cut bread
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter in the pan.
4 tablespoons Butter for cooking
Place the soaked bread slices in the hot skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Do not crowd the pan, you will need to cook in batches.
Once cooked on both sides, remove the French toast from the skillet and serve it hot with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, honey, powdered sugar, and berries.

Use the Right Bread: Choosing a hearty bread, like brioche bread or stale bread, is the secret ingredient to getting the perfect french toast recipe.
Don’t Soak Too Long: Dip bread in the milk mixture just enough to coat both sides.
Medium Heat is Key: Cook the bread over medium heat. Pan fry it in a large skillet with a pat of butter to get that golden brown crust without burning it.
Adjust Sweetness: If you want sweeter French toast, try adding a bit of brown sugar to the egg batter.
Try Different Toppings: Don’t be afraid to get creative! Fresh fruit, powdered sugar, maple syrup, or even peanut butter can turn a classic recipe into something new and exciting.
Make Ahead: If you want to save time, make a big batch and freeze some.
