2 large eggs 🥚
½ cup milk (or heavy cream for richness) 🥛
1 tbsp sugar (optional)
½ tsp cinnamon (for warmth & flavor) ✨
1 tsp vanilla extract 🌿

Instructions 👩🍳
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Let excess batter drip off before transferring to the pan.

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter.
Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove from heat and keep warm.

Stack the warm French toast on a plate. 🍽️
Drizzle with maple syrup or honey, dust with powdered sugar, and add fresh fruit or nuts. 🍓🍯🥜
Serve immediately and enjoy!
