To make easy French toast, follow these simple steps:
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 slices of bread (hearty sandwich bread or Texas toast works well)
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Make the batter: In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Dip the bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.
- Cook: Heat a lightly greased nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the bread slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve: Serve warm with syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
Tips for Best Results
- Use thick slices of bread (about 1 inch) to get a crispy outside and moist inside.
- Let the bread soak in the batter for about 30 seconds to absorb the custard well.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the inside cooks through.
- Butter the skillet for extra flavor and a nice crust.
- You can substitute milk with plant-based options or even a little water if needed, but this may affect the flavor slightly
This method is quick, easy, and yields classic, delicious French toast perfect for breakfast or brunch.
