French Toast Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bread (thick-cut preferred)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (120ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- Butter or oil (for cooking)

- Prepare the Batter:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar (if using) until well combined.
- Dip the Bread:

- Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve:
