Make classic, fluffy French toast quickly with this simple recipe. This method yields a golden exterior and a custardy center every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices thick bread (Texas toast or brioche work well)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined. This is your batter.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add half of the butter or oil.
  3. Dip one slice of bread into the batter, letting it soak for about 10 to 15 seconds per side. Do not over-soak, or the bread will become soggy.
  4. Place the coated bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the cooked French toast from the skillet and keep warm. Add more butter to the skillet as needed between batches.
  6. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of milk in the batter.
  • If your bread is very fresh, let it sit out for 30 minutes before using to dry slightly; this helps it absorb the batter better without falling apart.
  • Use medium heat; if the heat is too high, the outside will burn before the inside cooks to a custardy texture.
