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.
