1-Whisk together the 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk or alternative, a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or sweetener, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a shallow dish until smooth and well combined.

2-Dip the 8 slices of bread one or two at a time into the mixture, quickly coating both sides to avoid sogginess. This quick dip helps the bread absorb just the right amount of flavor.

3-Melt butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat, ensuring the surface is evenly coated for perfect cooking.

4-Cook each bread slice for 2 to 3 minutes per side until it’s golden brown and cooked through, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.

5-Serve immediately with syrup and optional toppings like fresh berries, more butter, or cream for a delightful finish.
