I have not read any other replies yet, but this is what I do...
Egg, Milk (heavy cream is SOO GOOD instead!), cinnamon, vanilla. VOILA! Dip in your bread and cook! Cover in yummy pure maple syrup!
(Sorry, I dont measure when I cook this. I just eyeball it.)

Remember that THICKER bread is better for french toast, and it soaks up more yummy flavor if its on the dry side.
