Make this classic French toast recipe for a delicious breakfast or brunch. It uses simple ingredients to create golden, fluffy slices with a custardy center in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices thick bread (like brioche or challah)
  • 3 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

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined. This creates your classic French toast batter.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add half of the butter and let it melt until it sizzles slightly.
  3. Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 15 to 20 seconds per side. Do not over-soak, or the bread will become soggy.
  4. Place the soaked bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the cooked slice and keep it warm while you cook the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
  6. Serve your easy French toast immediately with your preferred toppings like maple syrup or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale bread; it absorbs the custard better without falling apart.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
  • If you want a crispier edge, lightly dust the cooked French toast with a mix of cinnamon and sugar before serving.
