1. Preheat and Prep Rack
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and set it inside the oven.
2. Mix Egg Mixture
In a shallow bowl, thoroughly whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, milk, vanilla extract (if using), and salt until foamy.
3. Melt Butter
Add a small piece of butter to a large nonstick skillet and melt over low heat, allowing it to bubble gently.
4. Sizzle and Soak Bread
Increase heat to medium-high until butter sizzles. Dip two slices of bread into the egg mixture for about 5 seconds on each side, ensuring they are evenly coated but not soaked.
5. Cook to Golden
Allow excess mixture to drip off before placing bread in the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the bottom turns golden brown.
6. Flip and Brown
Add another piece of butter, flip the bread, and swirl to coat the new side with butter. Cook until this side is also golden brown.
7. Sugar and Check
Optionally, dust with cinnamon sugar, flip again, and dust the other side. Check for doneness by pressing the center; it should spring back.
8. Serve or Keep Warm
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings or keep warm in the preheated oven while you cook the remaining slices.
