Instructions

Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in a shallow bowl.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Dip bread slices in egg mixture, letting excess drip off.
Cook bread slices 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.
Serve with syrup, fruits, or powdered sugar.

Notes

Use slightly stale bread for best results. Don’t rush soaking – 20–30 seconds per side is perfect. Reheat leftover slices in a skillet or toaster to retain crispness.
