WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
This classic French toast is made fuss-free, with a balance of sweet, cinnamon warmth and rich vanilla flavor.
INGREDIENTS FOR THE FRENCH TOAST
– ⅓ cup whole milk
– 2 large eggs
– 2 Tbsp sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– ½ tsp ground cinnamon
– ⅛ tsp kosher salt
– 4 slices stale brioche bread
In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
STEP 1: MAKE THE CUSTARD
STEP 2: PREP THE SKILLET
Lightly coat a skillet or griddle with cooking spray or a little butter. Heat over medium-high until hot.
STEP 3: SOAK THE BREAD
Dip one side of each bread slice into the egg mixture, soaking 30 seconds. Flip and soak the other side.
STEP 4: COOK THE FRENCH TOAST
Place soaked bread directly into the hot skillet and cook until golden brown on the bottom. Flip and cook another minute until evenly browned.
STEP 5: REPEAT AND SERVE
Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter or cooking spray if needed. Serve warm with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.
