Classic French Toast

Whisk together egg, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a shallow dish until well combined

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush the surface with butter

Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides, then place into the hot skillet without overcrowding

Cook for approximately 2 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, adjusting heat to medium-low if browning too quickly

Serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar
