Description
This classic French Toast recipe is quick, easy, and yields perfectly golden, fluffy slices every time. Ideal for breakfast or brunch, it’s made with simple ingredients and can be customized with your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
- 6 slices brioche bread (or thick white bread)
- 3 large eggs
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, soaking both sides well.
- Place the soaked bread slices on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining slices.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bread like brioche or challah for best results.
- Day-old bread absorbs the custard mixture better than fresh bread.
- Keep cooked slices warm in the oven at 200°F while finishing the rest.
