Let’s cook
- Whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla in a shallow dish.
- Melt a little butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Dip both sides of each bread slice into the egg mixture without leaving it to fall apart.
- Cook bread in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and the egg coating is fully cooked, reaching 160°F (71°C). Use the remaining butter for later batches.
- Divide among plates and drizzle with the maple syrup. Serve warm.
