🍳 Classic French Toast Recipe (Serves 4)
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread (thick-cut works best: brioche, challah, or Texas toast)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the custard
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- Dip the bread
- Submerge each slice of bread in the egg mixture.
- Let it soak for 20–30 seconds per side (longer if using thick or stale bread).
- Cook the French toast
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp butter.
- Place soaked bread slices on the skillet.
- Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve
- Stack slices on a plate.
- Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle powdered sugar, or top with berries and whipped cream.
🍴 Tips for Perfect French Toast
- Use slightly stale bread—it soaks up custard without falling apart.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the outside while leaving the inside undercooked.
- For extra richness, replace half the milk with heavy cream.
- Make it savory: skip cinnamon and sugar, and top with cheese or herbs.
