You need a breakfast that is fast, simple, and delicious? This classic French toast recipe delivers golden, fluffy slices with a custardy center using just a few basic ingredients. It is perfect for quick weekday mornings or a relaxed weekend brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 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 skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add about half of the butter and let it melt until it sizzles lightly.
  3. Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 15 to 20 seconds on each side. You want the bread saturated but not falling apart.
  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. Remove the cooked slices and keep them warm while you cook the remaining bread, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
  6. Serve your homemade french toast immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy French toast, use slightly stale or thick-cut bread; it holds the custard better.
  • If you want a hint of spice, add a tiny pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
  • You can prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
