4.3 from 20 reviews

Golden, fluffy French toast made with thick bread slices soaked in a spiced egg and milk mixture, then cooked on a buttery skillet until perfectly golden. A timeless and comforting breakfast favorite, finished with syrup or powdered sugar for added sweetness.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 3-4 servings

Ingredients

French Toast

  • 6 slices thick bread
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • Butter for cooking (about 1-2 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Coat the bread: Dip each slice of thick bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak briefly but ensuring it’s evenly coated on both sides without becoming too soggy.
  3. Cook the French toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter. Place the coated bread slices onto the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until each side is golden brown and slightly crispy.
  4. Serve: Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately, topped with your choice of syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or any preferred toppings.

Notes

  • Use thick slices of bread like brioche or challah for best results and a fluffier texture.
  • Adjust cinnamon and vanilla to taste for a more intense flavor.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the outside while ensuring the inside cooks through.
  • Leftover French toast can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster or skillet.
