Make perfect, golden French toast quickly using simple pantry ingredients. This recipe delivers a custardy center and crisp edges every time, making it a reliable choice for a fast breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 12 slices thick bread (like challah or brioche)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for the griddle

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 half of the butter and let it melt until it sizzles lightly.
  3. Quickly dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides evenly. Do not let the bread soak for too long; a quick dip is key for fluffy results.
  4. Place the coated bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the cooked slices and keep them warm while you cook the remaining bread, adding more butter to the skillet as needed between batches.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale or thick-cut bread for the best texture; thin sandwich bread can become soggy.
  • For extra richness, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.
  • If your griddle is large, you can cook 3 or 4 slices at once to speed up the process.
