Learn how to make classic French toast, a simple yet delicious breakfast that’s perfect for any morning. This recipe uses a rich custard soak and a quick fry to create golden, fluffy slices of bread, ready to be topped with your favorite syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 8 slices of bread (brioche, challah, or thick-cut white bread work well)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil for frying
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Optional toppings: fresh fruit, powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  2. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Let the bread soak for about 30 seconds per side, or longer for thicker bread, allowing it to absorb the custard.
  3. Melt butter or heat oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  4. Carefully place the soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  5. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve the French toast immediately with maple syrup and your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
  • If your bread is very fresh, it might be too soft to soak well. Slightly stale bread works best.
  • Adjust cinnamon to your preference.
