Ingredients

• 3 large eggs beaten
• 8 slices bread white thick cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 
• 4 servings maple syrup hot pure
• 1 cup milk 
• 0.3 cup sugar 
• 4 tablespoons butter unsalted

Directions

1. Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F, and place a rack on a sheet pan.
2. Whisk the milk and eggs in a glass pie or casserole dish until evenly combined.
3. Whisk the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
5. Add about 1/2 a tablespoon of butter to the skillet, swirling the pan to coat the surface. Dip 2 slices of bread into the egg mixture and immediately lay in the skillet.
