Description
A delicious recipe for classic French toast, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon (13g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (237ml) milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 9–11 slices bread (brioche, white bread, etc)
- 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter (optional)
Instructions
- Place eggs in a medium bowl and whisk until they’re completely mixed – and no little pieces of egg white are showing, the mixture should be all yellow.
- Add sugar, cinnamon and milk, and vanilla and whisk to combine.
- Pour mixture into a shallow dish (like a pie plate).
- Preheat griddle to 350°F or preheat a frying pan over medium heat. If desired, add butter to the pan or griddle, or use nonstick cooking spray.
- Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture on both sides. Allow excess to drip off, then place on hot griddle or pan.
- Cook approximately 4-5 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook approximately 3-4 minutes more, or until both sides are golden brown and center is hot and cooked through. Cook time will depend on the temperature of your pan or griddle and thickness of your bread.
- Serve hot with maple syrup.
Notes
- Adjust cook time based on the thickness of your bread.
- For a sweeter French toast, consider adding more sugar or toppings such as fruit or syrup.
