French Toast Recipe
Description
The French Toast recipe involves combining eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to create a flavored custard. Thick bread slices are soaked quickly on each side to absorb the mixture without becoming soggy. Cooking in a butter-greased skillet over medium heat yields golden brown crusts while preserving a soft, custardy center.
Serving the toast warm with additional butter and warm maple syrup complements the mild sweetness and spice. The texture is tender inside with crispy edges, and the gentle cinnamon and vanilla notes enhance the flavor without overpowering.
Using unsliced or thicker bread slices helps maintain structure and prevents the toast from falling apart. Monitoring heat prevents burning; adding vegetable oil to the butter can increase smoke point and achieve even browning. Giving the skillet time to re-butter between batches maintains flavor and crispness.
Ingredients
- 4 large egg
- ¾ cup milk 180ml, whole
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch salt
- 8 bread thick sliced
- butter for greasing the pan
- maple syrup warm
Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt, until completely combined.
- Melt 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter in the hot pan.
- Place each slice of bread in the egg mixture and soak for a few seconds. Flip over and soak the other side. Carefully transfer the soaked bread to your hot pan and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Flip over and cook the other side until golden. Serve warm with additional butter and maple syrup, if desired.
Notes
- Choose thick slices of unsliced bread for a custardy interior and sturdy texture.
- Replenish butter in the skillet between batches to maintain crisp edges and flavor.
- Mix vegetable oil with butter if butter starts to burn easily to raise the smoke point.
- Cook on medium heat to ensure even browning without burning or sogginess.
