- Cook the French Toast - Transfer the soaked bread slices to the hot skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and lightly crisp. Work in batches if needed, adding more butter between batches to prevent sticking and encourage even browning.

- Serve - Serve the French toast immediately while hot. Top with maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar, as desired.Warm Maple syrup - fresh berries, or powdered sugar
