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