Prepare the Egg Mixture:
-
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Heat the Pan:

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Let it melt, ensuring the surface is well-coated.

Dip the Bread:

Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are evenly coated. Let the excess drip off.

Notes
-
For a richer flavor, use thicker bread like challah or brioche.
-
If you prefer a slightly sweeter French toast, you can add a bit of sugar to the egg mixture.
-
For a lighter version, you can substitute the whole milk with almond milk or another plant-based milk.
- If you don’t have cinnamon, you can skip it or add a pinch of nutmeg for extra flavor.
