Golden, custardy French toast made the traditional way with thick slices of white bread soaked in an egg-and-milk mixture, pan-fried in butter, and drizzled with maple syrup. A timeless breakfast treat that the whole family will love.
Crack the eggs into a shallow bowl or dish. Add the milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Heat half the butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat until it foams.
Dip 2 bread slices into the egg mixture, letting each side soak for about 10 seconds. Let the excess drip off.
Place the soaked slices in the hot pan and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining butter and repeat with the last 2 slices.
Serve immediately, drizzled with maple syrup.
