Following these steps will guide you in preparing The Best French Toast:

1. Whisk the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until all ingredients are well-blended.

2. Prepare the Bread: Take each slice of bread and soak it in the egg mixture. Allow it to absorb the liquid for about 30 seconds on each side, ensuring it’s well-coated.

3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter until it bubbles but does not brown.

4. Cook the Bread: Place 2-3 soaked slices of bread into the skillet (depending on space) and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

5. Flip and Finish: Gently flip each slice and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, adding more butter to the pan as necessary.

6. Repeat: Continue the process with the remaining slices, adding butter and adjusting heat as needed to avoid burning.

7. Serve Immediately: Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a serving platter.

8. Garnish: Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruits, and a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
