French Toast Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Butter for cooking (about 1 tablespoon)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined and smooth to create the custard base for the French toast.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Dip the bread: Take each slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly but not so long that the bread becomes too soggy.
- Cook the bread: Immediately place the coated bread slices onto the heated skillet and cook them for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Serve: Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve warm with syrup, fresh fruit, or toppings of your choice for a delicious breakfast.
Notes
- Use day-old or slightly stale bread for best absorption without getting too soggy.
- Adjust the cinnamon and vanilla extract amounts to suit your personal taste preferences.
- To keep cooked French toast warm while finishing the batch, place it on a baking sheet in a low oven (around 200°F/90°C).
- Try using different types of bread such as brioche or challah for a richer flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use a butter alternative.
