Directions
1
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.

Prepare the Gluten-Free French Toast: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, ground cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract until well combined.
6
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
7
Dip each slice of gluten-free bread into the egg mixture, ensuring it's coated on both sides.
8
Place the dipped bread slices on the hot skillet and cook until golden brown and slightly crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
