French Toast Recipe
Description
The French Toast recipe involves whisking together milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to form a custard-like soaking mixture. Bread slices are dipped in this mixture to absorb the flavors and moisture.
Cooking takes place in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat greased with butter or cooking spray. Each slice is cooked until golden brown on both sides, producing a texture with a slightly crisp outside and tender, custard-soft interior. Reapplying butter or spray between batches ensures even cooking.
The recipe recommends using thicker bread such as brioche to better hold the custard and maintain softness without becoming soggy. Serving warm with maple syrup or extra butter enhances the taste. This makes a classic, comforting breakfast or brunch treat.
The notes explain that heavy cream enhances flavor and texture but can be substituted with milk if needed.
Ingredients
- 6 lices bread
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream ² (note: extra symbol ignored
- 3 egg large
- 1 ½ Tablespoons sugar
- ¾ teaspoons vanilla
- ¾ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- butter for greasing pan, or cooking spray
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- Place a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray or melt ½ Tablespoon of butter.
- Once pan is heated, whisk your egg mixture once more then soak one slice of bread on both sides. Immediately transfer bread to preheated skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Repeat with remaining bread/egg mixture, spraying pan or melting additional butter before adding each new slice.
- Serve warm, topped with butter and maple syrup!
Notes
- For best results, choose thicker sliced breads like brioche to hold the custard well.
- Heavy cream improves taste and richness but can be replaced with milk if unavailable.
