Classic French Toast

Description

This classic French Toast recipe delivers a deliciously fluffy, golden breakfast treat that’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. With a touch of cinnamon and vanilla, it’s the perfect way to start your morning!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk (whole milk or any alternative works)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (adds fluffiness to the batter)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 thick slices of bread (brioche, cinnamon bread, or thick white bread recommended)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter:
    In a blender or a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  2. Dip the bread:
    Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Allow the bread to soak up a little of the batter for extra flavor.

  3. Cook the French Toast:
    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil. Place the dipped bread slices on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. Serve:
    Serve the French Toast warm with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh berries or whipped cream. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Bread Choice: Thick bread works best. Try brioche, Texas Toast, or slightly stale homemade bread for the best texture. For a twist, cinnamon bread adds extra flavor.
  • Extra Fluffiness: The flour in the batter makes the French Toast fluffier. Don’t skip it!
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the batter up to 2 days in advance and store it in the fridge. It’ll save you time on busy mornings.
