Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-cut bread brioche, challah, or Texas toast (240g - 280g)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup 240ml whole milk
- 1 teaspoon 5ml vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon 12g granulated sugar or honey
- 1 teaspoon 5g ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar (or honey), cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Melt a knob of butter or pour a small amount of oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Dip each slice of bread fully into the egg mixture, permitting it to absorb the liquid thoroughly on both the top and bottom surfaces. Allow the bread to soak in the egg wash until saturated evenly on all sides.
- Put the bread slices onto the hot skillet and cook for 3 minutes per side, until they achieve a golden brown color.
- Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning and ensure the centers cook through.
- Transfer the cooked French toast triangles to a plate and keep warm in the oven at 200 degrees (93°C) until ready to serve.
- Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use brioche or challah bread. Texas toast also works well for its thickness.
- Stale or day-old bread will absorb the egg mixture better, resulting in a fluffier texture.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of orange zest to the egg mixture for extra flavor.
- Leftover French toast can be refrigerated for up to 5 days and reheated in a skillet or toaster oven.
