Classic French Toast
Description
This Classic French Toast recipe begins by whisking together eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a touch of sugar to create a flavorful custard. Thick slices of bread are soaked briefly in this mixture to absorb the custard without becoming overly soggy. After draining, the bread is cooked in butter on a skillet over medium-high heat until each side develops a browned, slightly crisp coating.
The finished French toast is tender inside with a mild spiced flavor from the cinnamon and nutmeg. It can be served plain or with toppings such as syrup, fruits, or powdered sugar. The recipe balances soaking time and cooking to keep the texture rich yet stable during frying.
