- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter.

		Notes
		
			
- Use thick-cut bread like brioche or challah for best results.
 
- Let bread soak briefly in the egg mixture if it’s very dry or thick.
 
- Add a splash of orange zest or almond extract for flavor variation.
 
- French toast can be kept warm in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.
 
- Make it dairy-free with plant-based milk and oil instead of butter.
