Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 slices bread
- 2 eggs
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Spices and Cooking Fat:
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Butter for frying
Instructions
- Craft a velvety mixture by whisking eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and aromatic vanilla extract in a wide, shallow bowl until thoroughly blended.
- Immerse each bread slice into the creamy egg mixture, ensuring complete and even coating on both surfaces.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, creating a golden cooking surface around 325°F.
- Gently place egg-soaked bread into the heated skillet, allowing each side to transform into a rich, caramelized golden-brown color, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the perfectly toasted slices to serving plates, presenting them while warm and inviting.
- Enhance the French toast with a drizzle of pure maple syrup or a delicate dusting of powdered sugar for an additional layer of indulgent sweetness.
Notes
- Experiment with different bread types like brioche, challah, or sourdough for varied textures and flavors.
- Use day-old bread to prevent soggy toast, as slightly stale bread absorbs egg mixture better without falling apart.
- For a healthier version, swap whole milk with almond or oat milk and use coconut oil instead of butter.
- Create gluten-free options by using gluten-free bread and ensuring all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
