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
- 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.
- Warm a skillet or griddle over medium heat, allowing butter to melt and create a golden, non-stick cooking surface.
- Gently immerse each bread slice into the egg mixture, carefully rotating to ensure complete and even coating on both sides.
- Carefully transfer the saturated bread slices onto the heated skillet, allowing them to sizzle and transform into a rich, caramelized golden-brown color.
- Monitor each side of the toast, cooking approximately 2-3 minutes until a delectable crisp exterior develops and the interior remains tender.
- 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.
