Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole or your choice of dairy alternative)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
- 8 slices of thick-cut bread (brioche or challah works best)
- Butter or oil, for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not overly soaked.
- Place the coated bread on the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
- Stale bread works best as it absorbs the egg mixture more effectively without falling apart.
- Keep cooked French toast warm in an oven set to 200°F while you finish cooking the rest.
