Prep the custard mixture: Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar and maple syrup in a shallow bowl until smooth.
Soak the bread: Dip each slice into the custard, letting it absorb for 20-30 seconds per side without over-soaking.
Cook to golden perfection: Heat a skillet over medium heat with butter or oil, then cook each slice for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Serve & enjoy: Plate with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, powdered sugar, or whipped cream.
