French Toast
This easy French toast recipe uses basic ingredients like eggs, milk, and bread for a fluffy, golden breakfast that comes together in just 15 minutes.
Equipment
- Griddle or Large Skillet
- Mixing Bowl
- Measuring Spoons
- Whisk
- Spatula
Ingredients
- Bread8 slices
- Eggs4 pcs
- Milk1 cup
- Heavy Cream¼ cup
- Sugar2 tbsp
- Vanilla Extract1 tsp
- Cinnamon½ tsp
- Allspice½ tsp
- Nutmeg⅛ tsp
- Salt¼ tsp
- Unsalted Butter(for frying)2 tbsp
- Neutral Oil(for frying)1 tbsp
Instructions
- Add the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, spices, and salt to a shallow bowl, then whisk until everything comes together in a smooth, even mixture.
- Preheat the griddle or skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp of butter and a few drops of oil to coat the surface evenly.
- Dip each slice of bread into the custard for 30-40 seconds per side, let the excess drip off, and place it on the hot griddle or skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings, like maple syrup, fresh berries, powdered sugar, or anything else you love from the ideas above.
Notes
- Whisk the custard until completely smooth. Under-mixed eggs won’t soak into the bread and will form little cooked strands on top, and floating spices will cling to the first slice instead of seasoning everything evenly.
- Don’t soak the bread for too long or it will absorb too much and start falling apart.
- Making a bigger batch? A flat-bottomed dish makes it easier to dip multiple slices at the same time.
- Make sure the griddle or skillet is fully preheated so the slices start cooking right away – otherwise the custard can seep out before it sets.
- To keep the butter from burning, add a little neutral oil (like canola, avocado, or peanut) to the skillet. It raises the smoke point so the butter stays golden and prevents a burnt flavor.
- If you’re cooking multiple servings, a griddle works best so all the slices are ready at the same time and stays warm until serving.
