Step-by-Step Instructions for Ultimate French Toast

In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1 cup of whole milk until fully blended. If desired, stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla essence for a delightful flavor boost.
Preheat a frying pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add 1-2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and let melt.
Slice your preferred bread into thick pieces, about 1-inch each. Submerge each slice in the custard for around 30 seconds on each side.
Carefully place the soaked bread slices in the preheated pan and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
Stack the cooked French toast on warm plates and top with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup or fresh berries.

Using stale bread helps prevent sogginess while ensuring it absorbs the custard without falling apart.
