Make the custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt first. Tip: whisking the cinnamon into the eggs before adding milk helps it blend evenly instead of floating on top. Then whisk in the milk until smooth.
Prep the bread: Trim crusts if desired. Lay slices flat and pour the custard mixture over them, flipping to coat evenly. Let them soak until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Heat the pan: Warm a skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter (and bacon grease if using).
Cook the French toast: Place soaked bread into the skillet. Shape gently with spatulas, cook until golden on the bottom, then flip and cook the other side. Fry the edges briefly for crisp sides.
Serve: Stack high, drizzle with maple syrup or top with whip cream and enjoy the fluffiest French toast ever.
