Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 slices thick white bread preferably day-old
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter for cooking
- Maple syrup for serving
- Powdered sugar for dusting, optional
Instructions
- In a large, shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds on each side. Let excess drip off.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the preheated skillet.
- Cook 2 slices of the soaked bread for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining slices, adding 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan for each batch.
- Serve hot, dusted with powdered sugar if desired, and drizzled with maple syrup.
Notes
Expert Tip:
To prevent cinnamon from concentrating and burning at the bottom, make sure to thoroughly mix the cinnamon into the egg mixture and cook your French toast on medium-low heat. This ensures even flavor distribution and a perfectly golden, flavorful finish without any burnt spots.
