Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a shallow dish until blended.
  2. Step 2: Dip each of 4 thick-cut bread slices into egg mixture, turning to coat both sides, and let excess drip off for 1 minute.
  3. Step 3: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat until bubbling. Cook bread slices 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar evenly over hot toast while still in the skillet. Serve immediately with 1/4 cup warm maple syrup drizzled on top.
