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, 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 and let it melt until it sizzles slightly.
  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 and keep it warm while you cook the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
  6. 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.
