Ingredients
- 8 lices thick sliced bread brioche or other breads
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons butter more as needed
Instructions
- In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan or on the griddle.
- Dip the bread into the egg mixture, allowing a few seconds for the egg to soak into the bread. Flip the bread over and repeat on the other side.
- Place the bread in the pan and cook over medium-low heat until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. (Add more butter as needed for the remaining slices of bread).
Notes
- You can use any type of bread for this French toast recipe, I prefer thicker artisan style bread. If using thinner sandwich style bread, don't allow it to soak too long.
- Cooking time can vary based on the thickness and density of the bread and the amount of custard soaked into the bread. Cook over medium-low heat to allow the custard to cook through without burning the outside of the bread.
- To prepare ahead, dip the bread into the egg mixture and place it in a single layer on a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- To make a large batch, preheat the oven to 200°F and place a casserole dish or baking sheet in the oven. Add cooked French toast slices to the dish to keep warm.
- Sprinkle French toast with cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar after cooking if desired.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 5 days, or separate slices with wax paper and freeze in zip bags for 2-3 months. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven.
