Classic, cozy, and always a win 🥞💛 Here’s an easy Homemade French Toast that’s golden on the outside and soft on the inside.
Homemade French Toast
Ingredients (serves 2–3)
- 4–6 slices bread (thick-cut works best: brioche, challah, or Texas toast)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk or half-and-half
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp sugar (optional)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Make the custard
In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. - Dip the bread
Dip each slice quickly—don’t soak too long or it’ll get soggy. - Cook
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add butter.
Cook bread 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown. - Serve hot
Top with syrup, powdered sugar, berries, or butter.
💡 Pro Tips
- Slightly stale bread = perfect French toast.
- For extra richness, swap milk for half-and-half or heavy cream.
- Keep heat medium—too hot and the outside burns before the inside cooks.
🍓 Tasty Variations
- Cinnamon Roll Style: Add a splash of maple syrup to the egg mix
- Banana Bread French Toast: Use banana bread slices 😍
- Savory: Skip sugar & vanilla; add salt, pepper, and a little Parmesan
