Prepare classic, fluffy French toast with a simple batter in under 20 minutes. This recipe yields a custardy interior and golden exterior, perfect for a fast breakfast or family brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole milk recommended for best texture)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 slices thick bread (such as challah or brioche)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt 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, allowing it to soak for about 15 to 20 seconds per side. Do not over-soak if you prefer a less custardy result.
  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 immediately with maple syrup and your choice of toppings.

Notes

  • For a richer, custardy french toast, use half-and-half instead of milk.
  • If your bread is very fresh, let it sit out for an hour to dry slightly; this helps it absorb the batter without getting soggy.
  • To achieve golden brown french toast, maintain a steady medium heat; if the pan is too hot, the outside will burn before the inside cooks.
