Description

This classic French Toast recipe is perfect for a delicious and easy breakfast. Slices of bread are soaked in a rich, creamy custard, then cooked until golden and crispy on the outside while remaining soft on the inside. Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings for a comforting morning treat!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 8 slices of bread (brioche, challah, or white bread work best)
  • 2 tbsp butter, for cooking
  • Maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Custard: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for about 15-20 seconds per side. Make sure the bread absorbs the mixture but isn’t too soggy.
  3. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Swirl to coat the pan.
  4. Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to cook in batches, adding more butter as needed.
  5. Serve: Serve the French toast hot with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of orange juice to the custard.
  • Day-old bread works best as it absorbs the custard without getting too soggy.

 

  • To keep French toast warm while cooking in batches, place cooked slices on a baking sheet in a 200°F (93°C) oven.
