This recipe delivers classic, fluffy French toast with a custardy center using a simple batter. It is perfect for a fast breakfast or a weekend brunch for the family.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon 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 creates your classic french toast batter.
  2. Heat a large griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt and coat the surface.
  3. Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 15 to 20 seconds per side. You want the bread coated but not completely saturated to keep it fluffy.
  4. Place the soaked bread onto the hot griddle. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Add more butter to the griddle as needed between batches.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup or fresh fruit. This is a simple, easy breakfast you will make often.

Notes

  • For a custardy center, use slightly thicker bread, about 3/4 inch thick.
  • If you prefer a sweeter batter, add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar to the egg mixture.
  • You can prepare the batter ahead of time and keep it refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
