Creating the perfect French toast is simpler than you might think. For this easy recipe, you'll need just a few basic ingredients: slices of thick white bread, eggs, milk, a splash of vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon.

Start by whisking together two eggs in a bowl, adding a generous splash of milk, a teaspoon of vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon for that warm flavour. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a moderate flame and add a small knob of butter until it melts and begins to bubble.

Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well-coated but not soaked. Place the slices in the pan and fry until golden brown on each side, which should take about two to three minutes per side.

Once cooked, serve your French toast warm, topped with a dusting of icing sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, or fresh berries for a delightful breakfast treat. Enjoy!
