French Toast with Homemade Bread

1.In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined and slightly frothy.

2.Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.

3.Dip each slice of homemade bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 20 seconds on each side, ensuring the bread absorbs the custard but does not become overly soggy.

4.Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated skillet. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining soft inside.

5.Add more butter to the skillet as needed between batches to prevent sticking and enhance browning.

6.Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a warm plate. Serve immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup and a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
