Craving breakfast perfection? Look no further than this unbelievably fluffy and golden French toast recipe!
– 2 large egg– 1/2 cup milk– 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)– 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Ingredients
– Pinch of salt– 4 slices thick-cut bread (brioche, challah, or French bread work well)– Butter, for greasing the pan– Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit, for serving
1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon (if using), vanilla extract (if using), and salt.
Instructions
2. Heat a lightly greased frying pan or griddle over medium heat.
3. Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly. Let the bread soak for a few seconds, until it's slightly saturated but not soggy.
4. Place the soaked bread slices on the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.
– For richer French toast, use heavy cream instead of milk.
Tips
– If you don't have brioche, challah, or French bread, you can use any type of bread you like, but thicker slices will hold up better to the eggy mixture.
– To make sure your French toast is cooked through, check the center with a knife. It should come out clean.
– Get creative with your toppings! You can try cinnamon sugar, Nutella, jam, or even savory herbs and spices.
