French Toast
This french toast is golden and crisp on the outside, soft and custardy in the center, and full of warm cinnamon-vanilla flavor. It’s quick to make, uses basic ingredients, and always turns out just right.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk whole, 2%, or any preferred kind
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 6 slices thick-cut bread such as brioche challah, or Texas toast
- Butter or oil for the pan
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl.
- Whisk the eggs until fully combined.

- Whisk the mixture again until smooth and evenly blended.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
- Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture.
- Let each side soak for about 2 to 3 seconds.
