This easy French toast recipe delivers golden, fluffy slices using simple pantry ingredients in just 15 minutes. It is a quick and classic breakfast perfect for any morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 slices thick bread (like challah or brioche)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined. This creates your simple batter.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add half of the butter and let it melt until it foams slightly.
  3. Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides quickly. Do not let it soak too long; you want the center slightly tender, not soggy.
  4. Place the coated bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the cooked French toast from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining slices, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
  6. Serve your classic French toast immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale or day-old bread for the best texture; it absorbs the custard better without falling apart.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with half-and-half.
  • If you want a crispier exterior, dust the finished slices lightly with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar before serving.
