Creating The Best French Toast is incredibly simple. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Whisk the Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
2. Heat the Pan: Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a generous tablespoon of butter to coat the surface.
3. Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.
4. Cook the Bread: Carefully place soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
