Combine the warmed milk and melted butter and add all other ingredients (except the bread).
Whisk mixture thoroughly, and transfer to a flat bottomed container approx 8” x 8”.
Heat ½ tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Soak bread in mixture approximately 15 seconds.
Place bread in skillet (may need a spatula to do this) and cook approximately 2 minutes per side.
If making a large amount, cooked French toast can be held warm in a 200 degree oven.
