Health Benefits
French toast provides energy from carbohydrates and protein from eggs. Using whole grain bread and reducing sugar can make this dish more balanced and nutritious.

Ingredients
4 slices of bread
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Butter for cooking

Instructions
Start by whisking the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a bowl until well combined.

Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Do not soak for too long, as the bread can become too soft.

Heat butter in a pan over medium heat. Place the soaked bread onto the pan and cook until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook the other side.

Repeat for all slices and serve warm.

Tips for Best Results
Use slightly stale bread for better absorption.
Cook on medium heat for even cooking.
Do not overcrowd the pan.

Taste & Texture
Crispy on the outside, soft and custardy on the inside with a warm, sweet flavor.

Serving Suggestions
Serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruits, or whipped cream.
