Description

Indulge in the ultimate breakfast treat with this recipe for the Best French Toast Ever. Thick slices of brioche or challah bread are soaked in a sweet vanilla-cinnamon egg mixture and cooked to golden perfection. Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup for a truly delightful morning meal.


Ingredients

Egg Mixture:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

French Toast:

  • 8 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or challah)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for cooking
  • powdered sugar and maple syrup for serving


Instructions

  1. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  2. Cook French Toast: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter to the skillet as needed for remaining slices.
  3. Serve: Serve warm with powdered sugar and maple syrup.

Notes

  • Use day-old or slightly stale bread for best texture.
  • Brioche or challah breads give a rich, tender result.
  • For extra flavor, add a splash of orange zest or a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
