Ingredients
Scale
French Toast Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Main Ingredients
- 4 slices bread
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat to prepare for cooking your French toast evenly and prevent sticking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Dip Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated to absorb the flavors and create a custardy texture when cooked.
- Melt Butter: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the preheated skillet, allowing it to sizzle gently and coat the surface for frying the bread slices.
- Cook First Batch: Place the coated bread slices in the skillet and cook each side for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat With Remaining Bread: Add more butter as needed, then repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining slices of bread.
- Serve: Serve the French toast warm, topped with maple syrup, fruits, powdered sugar, or any other favorite toppings. Enjoy your delicious breakfast!
Notes
- Use thick slices of bread like brioche or Texas toast for a richer texture.
- For added flavor, sprinkle powdered sugar or serve with fresh berries.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste or substitute with nutmeg for variation.
- To keep cooked slices warm, place them on a baking sheet in a low oven (around 200°F) while finishing the remaining pieces.
