- Yield: 8 slices
🧂 Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 8 slices of thick bread (brioche, challah, or Texas toast work best)
- 2 tablespoons butter, for cooking
Optional Toppings:
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh berries
- Whipped cream
👩🍳 Directions
- Make the Batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well blended. - Preheat the Pan:
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt a little butter to coat the surface. - Dip the Bread:
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for 5–10 seconds per side. Let excess drip off before cooking. - Cook the French Toast:
Place soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side, turning once. - Serve Immediately:
Serve warm with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and your favorite toppings.
🍴 Tips
- Stale or day-old bread works best — it absorbs the custard without getting soggy.
- Keep cooked slices warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven while you finish the rest.
- Add a splash of heavy cream for richer flavor or a pinch of nutmeg for warmth.
