Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large slices of bread (Texas Toast or Brioche work best)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for the griddle

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until the mixture is uniform. This is your foolproof French toast batter.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the butter or oil and let it melt until it coats the surface lightly.
  3. Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 10 to 15 seconds per side. Do not over-soak; you want it coated but not falling apart.
  4. Place the soaked bread onto the hot griddle. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed between batches.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy French toast, use slightly stale or thick-cut bread.
  • If you like a crispier edge, turn the heat up slightly to medium-high for the last minute of cooking on each side.
  • This recipe is great for a quick breakfast in under 20 minutes.
