You can make perfect, golden, fluffy French toast quickly using simple pantry ingredients. This foolproof recipe delivers a custardy center and crisp edges every time you cook.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large slices of bread (Texas Toast or Brioche work well)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole milk gives the best texture)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish or pie plate, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until the mixture is uniform. This is your foolproof French toast batter.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add half of the butter and let it melt until it sizzles slightly.
  3. Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 15 to 20 seconds per side. Do not over-soak, or the bread will become soggy.
  4. Place the soaked bread onto the hot, buttered skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the cooked slice and keep it warm while you cook the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed between batches.
  6. Serve your easy French toast immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy French toast, use slightly stale or thick-cut bread.
  • If you want a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with half-and-half.
  • Dust with powdered sugar or serve with maple syrup for a classic sweet breakfast treat.
