Make perfect, golden French toast quickly with this simple recipe. You get crisp edges and a custardy center using basic pantry ingredients. This is your go-to for a fast, comforting breakfast.

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 Brioche or Texas Toast)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined. This is your foolproof French toast batter.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add about 1 teaspoon of butter and let it melt until it sizzles lightly.
  3. Dip one slice of bread completely into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 10 to 15 seconds per side. Do not over-soak; you want the bread coated but not falling apart.
  4. Place the soaked bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Add more butter to the skillet as needed before cooking the next slices.
  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.
  • Wipe the skillet clean between batches if butter starts to brown too quickly.
