Make the best homemade French toast with this simple recipe. It uses basic ingredients to create golden, fluffy slices with a custardy center, perfect for a fast breakfast or weekend brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices thick bread (like challah or brioche)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole milk works best)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined. This creates your classic French toast batter.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add half of the butter and let it melt until it sizzles slightly.
  3. Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 15 to 20 seconds per side. Do not over-soak; you want the center custardy, not soggy.
  4. Place the soaked bread onto the hot, buttered skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the cooked slices and keep them warm while you repeat the process with the remaining butter and bread slices.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup and fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale or day-old bread; it absorbs the custard better without falling apart.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
  • If you are cooking for a crowd, keep finished slices warm on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
