- Eggs: Eggs are essential for giving the French toast its rich and custard-like texture. They also help bind the other ingredients together.
- Milk: Milk adds creaminess to the French toast and helps to thin out the egg mixture.
- Sugar: Sugar adds sweetness to the French toast and helps to caramelize the outside when cooked.
- Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract enhances the flavor of the French toast and adds a warm, aromatic note.
- Cinnamon: Cinnamon adds a warm and spicy flavor to the French toast, making it even more delicious.
