Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create the Best French Toast Recipe:
1. Whisk the Mixture: In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
2. Prepare the Bread: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, letting it melt and coat the surface.
3. Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Let the excess liquid drip off.
4. Cook the Bread: Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet or griddle. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
5. Adjust Heat: If the bread browns too quickly, reduce the heat slightly to ensure it cooks through.
6. Add Butter: For additional flavor, add more butter to the skillet as necessary when cooking the next batches of bread.
7. Repeat: Continue the process until all bread slices are cooked, adding more butter as needed.
8. Serve: Once cooked, arrange the French toast on plates and serve immediately.
9. Add Toppings: Drizzle with warm maple syrup, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and add fresh fruit as desired.
