Indulge in a classic breakfast favorite with this delicious French Toast recipe. Made with simple ingredients and bursting with flavor, this dish is perfect for a leisurely weekend brunch or a cozy morning at home.
To start, gather your ingredients: thick slices of bread (such as brioche, challah, or French bread), eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
In a shallow bowl or dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. This mixture will serve as the custard base for soaking the bread slices.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Be sure to coat the bread evenly to ensure that it absorbs the custard mixture.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Once the skillet is hot, place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
As the French toast cooks, you can sprinkle additional cinnamon on top for extra flavor if desired.
Once cooked to perfection, transfer the French toast to a plate and serve immediately with your favorite toppings. Popular options include maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, whipped cream, or even a dollop of yogurt.
Enjoy your homemade French Toast warm and fresh off the griddle for a comforting and satisfying breakfast that’s sure to brighten your day.
