A simple and delicious recipe for classic French toast, perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 slices of bread (brioche, challah, or thick-cut white bread work well)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  2. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly saturated.
  3. Melt butter or heat oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  4. Place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • For best results, use bread that is a day or two old, as it will absorb the egg mixture better without becoming too soggy.
  • Adjust cinnamon and vanilla to your preference.
  • You can add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture for extra flavor.
