How to Make English Muffin French Toast

This recipe is very easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. Start with splitting the English muffins. Place the English muffin halves in a large ziplock bag. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs beaters, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Pour egg mixture over the muffins and seal the bag. Place the bag in the refrigerator overnight. When you are ready to cook the French toast, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place muffins in the pan. Cook for 3 minutes on the first side. Flip the muffins over and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until golden brown.
