Easy French Toast Recipe: Quick Comfort Breakfast
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 300kcal
Ingredients
- 4 slice day-old bread (thick-cut works best, but regular works fine)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (any kind you like)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or neutral oil for the pan
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries, powdered sugar, yogurt
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a shallow dish until everything is well blended. Don’t whisk so hard you turn it into a frothy latte—keep it simple
- Dip each bread slice into the mixture for about 20–30 seconds per side. Let it soak, but don’t turn it into mush. You want a little custardy center.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a pat of butter. You should hear a gentle sizzle, not a flame-thrower crackle.
- Place soaked bread in the pan. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and a touch crispy on the edges. Flip carefully; you don’t want a pancake-flavored shoe.
- Transfer to a plate, stack with friends or solo, and finish with your favorite toppings. Breakfast victory tastes like everything going right.
