Here’s a simple and delicious way to make classic French toast, just like the one you described—served with butter and syrup.
🥖 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 4 slices of bread (day-old or slightly firm works best)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Butter for cooking and serving
- Maple syrup for serving
👩🍳 Instructions
- Make the Egg Mixture
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Dip the Bread
- Soak each slice of bread in the egg mixture for a few seconds on each side, ensuring it’s coated but not soggy.
- Cook the French Toast
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add a small amount of butter.
- Cook the bread slices 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Serve
- Place cooked slices on a plate.
- Top with a pat of butter and drizzle with maple syrup.
🌟 Optional Toppings
- Fresh berries or sliced bananas
- Powdered sugar
- Whipped cream or yogurt
- Nuts for crunch
💡 Tips for Perfect French Toast
- Use slightly stale bread—it absorbs the egg mixture better without falling apart.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed.
- Keep finished slices warm in a low oven while cooking the rest.
If you want, I can also give a “quick 10-minute French toast in the air fryer” version that’s fluffy, golden, and easy to serve with butter and syrup.
