Ah, French Toast! 🍞🥚✨ A classic breakfast treat—crispy on the outside, soft and custardy on the inside, and perfect with syrup, fruit, or powdered sugar.
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 4 slices of bread (day-old or thick slices like brioche or challah work best)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, whipped cream
Instructions
- Make the Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Dip the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides well. Let excess drip off.
- Cook: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add butter or oil. Cook each slice 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Serve: Stack the French toast on plates, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy warm.
Tips & Variations
- Extra Custardy: Let bread soak in the egg mixture for 20–30 seconds per side before cooking.
- Sweet Twist: Add a spoonful of brown sugar or a drizzle of honey to the batter.
- Savory Option: Skip cinnamon and vanilla, add a pinch of pepper, and top with cheese or avocado.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the batter the night before for a quick morning breakfast.
đź’ˇ Serving Idea: Serve with crispy bacon, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for a decadent brunch treat.
