How to Make a Classic French Toast

Classic French toast is a simple and satisfying breakfast dish. Begin by whisking together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon in a shallow dish. Dip slices of bread into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for a few seconds on each side. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a pat of butter. Cook the bread slices until golden brown and crispy on each side, then transfer to a plate. Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
