Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 12 slices thick bread (like Texas toast or brioche)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish or pie plate, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined. This is your foolproof French toast batter.
  2. Heat a large griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add about half of the butter and let it melt until it sizzles slightly.
  3. Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 15 to 20 seconds per side. You want the bread coated but not completely soggy.
  4. Place the soaked bread onto the hot griddle. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the cooked slices and keep them warm while you cook the remaining bread, adding more butter to the skillet as needed between batches.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy French toast, use slightly stale or thick-cut bread.
  • If you want a richer flavor, substitute half the milk with half-and-half.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches to maintain the correct cooking temperature.
