Description
French Toast is a classic breakfast dish that’s quick, indulgent, and perfect for any occasion. With its crispy golden exterior and soft, custard-like interior, this easy recipe will become a favorite in your breakfast rotation.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 4 slices of bread (preferably thick-cut, like challah or brioche)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a shallow bowl or dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not soaked.
- Place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the French Toast from the skillet and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh berries, powdered sugar, or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bread like brioche or challah for the best texture and flavor.
- If you prefer extra crispy French Toast, cook it in a little more butter or oil, and ensure the skillet is hot before adding the bread.
- Feel free to customize with different toppings or add-ins like fresh fruit, chocolate chips, or whipped cream.
- If you’re making multiple servings, keep the cooked French Toast warm by placing it in a low oven (200°F/90°C) until ready to serve.
