Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: Add 3 large eggs, ½ cup half & half, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon to a medium bowl and whisk until well combined.
- Heat Skillet and Butter: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter to the skillet, starting with 1 tablespoon, and let it melt.

Notes
- For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of half & half.
- You can use other types of sweet rolls or brioche bread.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the egg mixture.
- Keep the cooked French toast warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.
