French Toast
This delightful French toast recipe adapts beautifully to various types of bread—whether you choose white, whole wheat, brioche, cinnamon-raisin, Italian, or French bread. It’s best enjoyed warm, topped with butter and drizzled with maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ⅔ cup milk
- 6 thick slices of bread
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or additional as necessary
Instructions
- Start by gathering all necessary ingredients.
- In a shallow bowl, thoroughly whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to form a smooth mixture.
- Prepare a griddle or skillet by lightly greasing it with butter and heating it over medium-high heat. Immerse each slice of bread in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
- Place the soaked bread on the heated skillet and cook until golden brown, approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- Serve the French toast hot, accompanied by your preferred toppings.
