Ingredients

8 slices of sandwich bread, regular toast size
6 eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon sugar, optional
1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
2 ½ teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

Whisk the egg mixture:

In a 9x13-inch baking dish, whisk the eggs well, making sure the egg whites are fully mixed in. Add the water, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon, and whisk to combine.

Dip the bread slices:

Place 2 slices of bread into the egg mixture long enough to soak the first side well, then flip the bread over and soak up just enough of the egg mixture to wet it for about 10 seconds. Dip as many slices as you'll fit in your pan. Do not keep them in the mixture.

Cook the French toast:

Heat a large, nonstick pan over medium heat. Once hot, grease with butter or spray and place 2 slices of bread in the middle of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown.
Using a spatula, flip the French toast over and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes until the second side has browned. During the last minute, reduce the heat to medium and cover. You know the French toast is done cooking when the middles puff up and no longer feel wet. Remove them from the pan, soak up the next two slices, and repeat the process.

Serve:

Enjoy them topped with butter, syrup, and your favorite toppings.

Notes

If using thick Texas toast, increase the recipe by 2 eggs, to a 1 to 1 toast-to-egg ratio.
