Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices thick bread (like challah or brioche)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter, for cooking
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined. This is your batter.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add half of the butter and let it melt until it coats the surface.
- Dip one slice of bread into the batter, coating both sides quickly. Do not let it soak too long, or it will become soggy.
- Place the coated bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the cooked French toast and keep warm while you cook the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.
Notes
- Use slightly stale bread for the best texture; it absorbs the batter better without falling apart.
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.
- If you prefer a crispier edge, use slightly less milk in the batter mixture.
