Ingredients
Scale
6 large slices of bread (Texas toast or Brioche work well)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon butter, for the griddle
Instructions
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined. This creates your foolproof French toast batter.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt until it sizzles slightly.
Quickly dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides evenly. Do not let the bread soak for too long; a quick dip is enough for fluffy results.
Place the coated bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through the center.
Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve immediately with your preferred toppings. This recipe is a great alternative to using meal delivery companies for a fast breakfast.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, use slightly stale or thick-cut bread.
If you prefer a crispier edge, increase the heat slightly, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
Serve with maple syrup or fresh berries for a complete meal.
