Directions

In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon thyme and salt. Soak slices of bread in the egg mixture one at a time, about a minute on each side, until bread becomes fully saturated.
Place a griddle or nonstick sauté pan over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Working in batches, cook each slice of bread for about 2 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Meanwhile in a small bowl, mix together ricotta, remaining thyme and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, place a dollop of ricotta sauce on each slice of French toast.
