Classic French Toast

Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

• 4–6 slices thick bread (brioche, challah, or day-old white bread work best)

• 2 large eggs

• ½ cup milk or cream

• 1 tbsp sugar (optional)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ tsp ground cinnamon

• Pinch of salt

• Butter or oil, for cooking

Instructions

1. Make the custard:
   In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

2. Soak the bread:
   Dip each slice into the mixture for about 10–15 seconds per side. Don’t oversoak or it will fall apart.

3. Cook:
   Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter.
   Cook bread slices for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

4. Serve hot:
   Top with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or a pat of butter.

Optional Variations

• Extra fluffy: Use thick-cut bread and let it rest 1 minute after dipping.

• Rich & custardy: Replace milk with half-and-half or cream.

• Spiced: Add nutmeg or pumpkin spice.

• Stuffed: Sandwich cream cheese or Nutella between two slices before dipping.

💡 Pro Tips

• Slightly stale bread absorbs better without getting soggy.

• Keep cooked slices warm in a low oven (100°C / 200°F) while finishing the batch.
