Ingredients
- 8 slices thick bread brioche or Texas toast works well
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons butter for cooking
- Maple syrup for serving
- Powdered sugar for topping optional
- Fresh berries for garnish optional
Instructions
Prepare the Egg Mixture
- Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt. Whisk everything together until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy and well combined.
Heat the Pan
- Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter. Let the butter melt slowly and coat the surface of the pan evenly.
Dip the Bread
- Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish. Dip one slice of bread into the mixture. Let each side soak for a few seconds.
Cook the First Side
- Place the soaked bread slice onto the hot skillet. Cook it for about two to three minutes. The bottom should turn golden brown and slightly crisp.
Flip and Cook Again
- Use a spatula to carefully flip the bread slice. Cook the second side for another two minutes. The bread should look golden and smell delicious.
Repeat the Process
- Continue dipping and cooking the remaining bread slices. Add more butter to the skillet if needed. This helps the French toast stay golden and flavorful.
Serve the French Toast
- Place the cooked slices on a serving plate. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top if you like. Serve warm with maple syrup and fresh berries.
Notes
- Use thick bread slices for better texture.
- Slightly stale bread works best for French toast.
- Do not soak the bread too long or it may break.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning.
- Add a little nutmeg for extra flavor.
- Use brioche bread for a richer taste.
