Absolutely! Here’s a classic French Toast recipe that’s fluffy, golden, and perfect for breakfast or brunch:
Classic French Toast
Servings: 4
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 10 min
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional, but adds warmth)
- Pinch of salt
- 8 slices of bread (slightly stale works best—brioche, challah, or sandwich bread)
- 2 tbsp butter (for frying)
- Maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh berries for serving
Instructions
1. Make the Batter
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
2. Dip the Bread
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp butter.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides but don’t soak too long if the bread is very soft.
3. Cook the French Toast
- Place coated bread slices in the skillet.
- Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
- Add more butter as needed for remaining slices.
4. Serve
- Stack the French toast slices and top with:
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh berries or sliced bananas
- Optional: a dollop of whipped cream
Tips for Extra Fluffy French Toast
- Use thicker slices of bread like brioche or challah.
- Slightly stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better without falling apart.
- For a richer flavor, swap half the milk for half-and-half or cream.
- Keep cooked slices warm in a low oven (200°F / 90°C) while finishing the rest.
