- 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, for cooking
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined. This is your batter.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add half of the butter and let it melt until it sizzles slightly.
- 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.
- Place the coated bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the cooked French toast and keep it warm while you cook the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Use slightly stale bread; it absorbs the batter better without falling apart.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter mixture.
- Adjust the heat to medium-low if the outside browns too quickly before the inside cooks.
