Instructions

Step 1: In a shallow bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp salt until smooth and fragrant.
Step 2: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter until foaming.
Step 3: Dip each of the 6 thick slices of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides fully but not soaking so long they fall apart.
Step 4: Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges, adding more butter as needed.
Step 5: Transfer cooked French toast to plates, drizzle each serving with 1 tbsp honey, and top with 1 cup fresh mixed berries evenly divided.
Step 6: Serve warm for a comforting breakfast or brunch.
