Ingredients:

1 egg
½ cup milk (use whole, skim, soy, almond, or coconut)
¼ tsp. vanilla extract
¼ tsp. sugar
Pinch of ground cinnamon
2 slices bread
1 Tbsp salted butter

Method

Whisk together the egg and milk in a medium-sized shallow bowl.
Add the vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon and whisk until well incorporated.
Place the bread slices, one or two at a time, into the egg mixture and flip to make sure both sides of the bread are well-coated. Let the bread soak for a minimum of 30 seconds to fully absorb the custard.
Melt the butter in a medium-sized skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place one or both slices of the bread into the skillet and cook slices until golden brown, then flip to cook the other side. Serve with syrup and/or powdered sugar.
