Make perfect, golden French toast quickly using basic pantry items. This straightforward recipe yields a custardy center and crisp edges, making it a reliable choice for a fast breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 12 slices thick bread (like challah or brioche)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined. This is your foolproof French toast batter.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add about 1 teaspoon of butter and let it melt until it sizzles slightly.
  3. Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 10 to 15 seconds per side. Do not over-soak; you want the bread moist but not falling apart.
  4. Place the soaked bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Add more butter to the skillet as needed between batches.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy French toast, use slightly stale or thick-cut bread.
  • If you want a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with half-and-half.
  • You can prepare the batter ahead of time and keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
