Ingredients
Scale:
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk (or non-dairy milk for vegan option)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 slices of bread (brioche, sourdough, or gluten-free)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or coconut oil for vegan option)
Maple syrup for serving
Fresh fruits (berries, bananas, or peaches) for serving
Powdered sugar for dusting
Whipped cream (or vegan whipped topping) for serving

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter or coconut oil.
Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly, then place it onto the hot skillet.
Cook the bread for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Repeat the process with remaining slices of bread, adding more butter or oil as needed.
Serve immediately with toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruits, or powdered sugar.
