Classic French Toast with Egg Custard

1.In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined and smooth.

2.Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.

3.Dip each slice of bread into the egg custard mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly soaked.

4.Place the coated bread slices onto the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.

5.Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven if necessary while you cook the remaining slices.

6.Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar if desired.
