Instructions
- If using an electric griddle, preheat the griddle to 350 degrees F.
- In a shallow pan or pie plate, add the eggs, milk, vanilla, half of the cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
- Dip each side of the bread in the egg mixture. Note-add the other half of the cinnamon after you have dipped half of your bread slices and mix again. This will make sure all of the slices get a good amount of cinnamon.
- Melt a little butter on the hot griddle or in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the French toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Serve the French toast warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and berries, if desired.
Notes
- Keep warm: To keep the French toast warm, heat the oven to 200 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a large baking sheet and place the French toast on the rack. Keep warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes.

- How to Store: Let leftover French toast cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. To freeze, lay slices in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or toaster for the best texture, or microwave for a softer option.
