Description
A classic French toast recipe made without vanilla, featuring simple pantry ingredients and a perfectly golden, fluffy texture. This easy-to-make breakfast dish uses basic ingredients like eggs, milk, cinnamon, and sugar, delivering a warm and comforting start to your day.
Ingredients
For the French Toast:
- 4 slices thick bread (such as brioche, Texas toast, or challah)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined and smooth.
- Dip the bread: Take each slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly but avoiding soaking them to the point of falling apart.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the cooking surface for even browning.
- Cook the bread: Place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until they develop a golden-brown color and a fluffy texture inside.
- Serve warm: Transfer the cooked French toast to plates and serve immediately with your choice of maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for added flavor.
Notes
- Use brioche, Texas toast, or challah for the best texture and flavor.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
