French Toast
Description
This French Toast recipe starts by whisking together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to create a custard-like soaking mixture. Thick-sliced bread, such as brioche, is dipped in the mixture to absorb the flavors evenly.
The soaked bread is then cooked on a buttered nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat, about two minutes per side, adjusting the heat as needed to achieve a golden crust without burning. Working in batches and re-buttering the pan ensures evenly cooked slices each time.
Served warm, the French Toast can be topped with traditional accompaniments like maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar, offering a lightly sweet, silky interior with a delicate cinnamon aroma and crispy edges.
Ingredients
- 4 egg large
- ⅔ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- salt sea salt
- butter for the pan, or oil
- 8 bread I like this thick-sliced brioche, thick sliced
- maple syrup for serving, and/or
- powdered sugar for serving, and/or
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush with butter.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides. Place into the skillet and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Reduce the heat to low as needed to cook thoroughly without burning. Work in batches if necessary, brushing the skillet with more butter between batches.
- Serve with maple syrup and/or a dusting of powdered sugar.
