Instructions
- Step 1: Whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl until fully combined and smooth.
- 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 4 English muffin halves into the egg mixture, soaking for about 15 seconds on each side to absorb the custard without becoming soggy.
- Step 4: Place the soaked muffins in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
- Step 5: Add remaining 1 tbsp butter to the skillet as needed for subsequent batches, cooking remaining muffins the same way.
- Step 6: Serve the French toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup to taste.
