Mix ingredients
In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt until smooth.
Soak bread slices
Quickly dip each slice of bread into the mixture on both sides to ensure it's well soaked but not too soggy.
Cook French Toast
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit cut into pieces, a sprinkle of powdered sugar or even a tablespoon of Greek yogurt for a creamy texture.
