Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 slices thick bread (like Texas Toast or Brioche)
- 2 tablespoons butter, for the griddle
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined. This creates your foolproof French toast batter.
- Heat a large griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt and coat the surface.
- Quickly dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides. Do not let the bread soak for too long; a quick dip is key for fluffy results.
- Place the coated bread onto the hot griddle. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the cooked slice and keep it warm while you cook the remaining slices, adding more butter to the griddle as needed.
- Serve your golden brown French toast immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra fluffy French toast, use slightly stale, thick-cut bread.
- If you prefer a sweeter batter, add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar to the egg mixture.
- Serve this classic cinnamon toast with maple syrup or fresh fruit for a complete family friendly breakfast.
