Description

Heavenly French Toast brings together golden-brown bread, silky eggs, and warm cinnamon in a breakfast masterpiece. Effortless preparation and rich flavors make this classic dish a morning delight you’ll savor with pure pleasure.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 8 slices brioche bread
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) whole milk

Flavoring Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon (15 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

Cooking Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons (30 grams) butter (more as needed)

Instructions

  1. Craft a luxurious egg mixture by vigorously whisking eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a spacious mixing bowl until completely smooth and well-integrated.
  2. Warm a skillet or griddle over medium heat, allowing butter to melt and create a golden, non-stick cooking surface.
  3. Gently immerse each bread slice into the egg mixture, carefully rotating to ensure complete and even coating on both sides.
  4. Carefully transfer the saturated bread slices onto the heated skillet, allowing them to sizzle and transform into a rich, caramelized golden-brown color.
  5. Monitor each side of the toast, cooking approximately 2-3 minutes until a delectable crisp exterior develops and the interior remains tender.
  6. Once perfectly cooked, transfer french toast to serving plates, presenting them with an array of enticing accompaniments such as pure maple syrup, delicate powdered sugar dusting, or a vibrant medley of fresh seasonal fruits.

Notes

  • Bread selection matters, choose thick-cut brioche or challah for a richer, more indulgent texture that absorbs egg mixture perfectly.
  • Avoid soggy toast by letting bread slices sit in egg mixture for just 10-15 seconds, preventing over-saturation and ensuring crispy edges.
  • Customize dietary needs by using gluten-free bread, dairy-free milk alternatives, or replacing sugar with honey for a healthier version.
  • Control heat carefully to achieve golden-brown color without burning, using medium-low temperature for even cooking and delightful caramelization.
