How to make it

4 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt

    In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle

    Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add half of the butter and melt until it begins to foam.

  3. Dip each slice of bread

    Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture for about 10-15 seconds per side, allowing it to soak up the custard without becoming completely mushy.

  4. Place the soaked bread

    Place the soaked bread onto the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp. Repeat with the remaining bread and butter.

A little kitchen wisdom

Using day-old bread prevents the French toast from becoming soggy. Brioche or Challah are the best choices due to their high egg and butter content.
