The Best French Toast I’ve Ever Made
Start your morning off right with this delightful French toast. It’s incredibly simple to prepare and requires just a few common ingredients. To make the best French toast, you really only need to choose the right bread and a few pantry staples. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick bread (challah, brioche, or Texas toast are great choices)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole milk works best)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- Butter for frying
- Maple syrup for serving
- Fresh berries or powdered sugar for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a pat of butter.
- While the butter is melting, dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Allow any excess to drip off.
- Once the skillet is hot and the butter is bubbling, place the dipped bread slices onto the skillet. Cook until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes.
- Flip the French toast and cook the other side until nice and golden, another 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm in the oven if necessary. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve immediately with maple syrup drizzled on top. Add fresh berries or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch!
This French toast is truly a treat. It’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making each bite a delightful experience. Enjoy it with your favorite breakfast sides and maybe a cup of coffee, and start your day on a delicious note!
