Ingredients
- butter for the skillet and for serving
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 loaf Texas toast (14 slices, see note 1)
- maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat to about 350 degrees. Melt butter and swirl to coat the surface. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla.
- Working with one slice at a time, dredge the bread in the batter mixture. Tap gently on the side of the bowl to remove excess, then lay on the preheated skillet. Add more slices in a single layer without touching until the skillet is full.
- Cook without moving until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Flip carefully and continue cooking on the second side until browned, about 2 minutes longer.
- Repeat with all remaining bread slices, adding more butter as needed between batches. Serve warm with butter and maple syrup or fresh fruit and whipped cream.
Notes
- Texas Toast: French toast is an ideal way to use up day-old bread, so there’s need to sacrifice your freshest bread. I used Texas Toast here, but nearly any style of slice will do. Try sourdough, French bread, challah, brioche, sturdy sandwich bread, or even cinnamon raisin bread.
- Yield: This recipe will make 14 thick slices of Texas toast. It's enough to use an entire 1-pound loaf.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
