Honey is a natural sweetener; brown sugar is often cheaper.

Crack 4 eggs into a large bowl.

Add 3/4 cup whole milk, 2 tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl.

Mix the ingredients to create a silky custard.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 to 2 tbsp of butter.

Soak slices of bread in the custard mixture for a few seconds on each side.

Place the soaked bread in the hot pan and cook for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Transfer cooked French toast to a baking sheet in a warm oven to keep it hot while cooking the rest.

Add more butter to the pan as needed while cooking the remaining French toast.

Serve with maple syrup, fresh berries, and whipped cream.
