Unlock French Toast 2.0 with a sprinkle of Ceylon cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup. The subtle, citrusy aroma will add a new layer of depth to the flavor profile. 

• 4 slices thick bread (brioche or white, preferably day-old) 

• 2 large eggs 

• 1/2 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative) 

• 1/2 tsp finely ground Ceylon cinnamon 

• 1 tsp vanilla extract 

• Pinch of salt 

• 1–2 tbsp butter (for cooking) 

• Maple syrup (to taste, for drizzling) 

• Optional: Powdered sugar or fresh fruit for topping 

• Medium mixing bowl 

• Whisk 

• Large skillet or griddle 

• Spatula 

• Plate 

• Use Ceylon cinnamon for its mild, citrusy notes; avoid stronger cassia cinnamon. 

• Slightly stale bread absorbs the batter better without falling apart. 

• Keep cooked slices warm in a 200°F/93°C oven while preparing the rest. 

• Adjust cinnamon to taste, but keep it subtle to complement the maple syrup.
