French toast has always been one of my favorite breakfasts. This French toast combines the flavors of maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon in the egg mixture, making it a sweet and irresistible breakfast treat.
Preparation Notes
If you are making several batches, heat the oven to 200 F.
Whisk the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl until well blended. Pour the mixture into a wide bowl or pie plate.
Melt the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Dip the bread in the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides.
When the butter is hot and stops foaming, add the bread to the skillet. Cook until browned on one side, about 2 to 3 minutes, then turn and brown the other side.
Keep the French toast warm in the oven or serve immediately with butter and more maple syrup.

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 slices bread, about 1/2-inch thickness

Instructions

- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Put two slices of bread in the egg and milk mixture, turning to coat both sides.
- When the butter is hot, and the foaming subsides, add the bread slices to the skillet.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the French toast is golden brown on the bottom. Turn and brown the other side. Adjust the heat as necessary.
- Transfer the cooked French toast slices to a pan or rack and put them in the oven to keep warm.
- Repeat with the remaining butter, bread, and egg mixture.
- Serve the French toast with butter and more maple syrup.
