Description

This easy French toast recipe is the perfect crispy, golden, and airy breakfast treat. Using simple ingredients like eggs, milk, and bread, it's a delicious morning breakfast. Add syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar on top for a delightful extra taste!

Ingredients
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 2/3 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 tbsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 8 Thick Slices Bread
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat griddle to 350 degrees F or heat a skillet over medium heat.
  2. 2
    In a blender, add the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. If you prefer whisking by hand, start by mixing the flour and eggs together in a shallow dish, then whisk in the rest of the ingredients until combined.
  3. 3
    Dip bread slices into the batter, dredging them well on both sides, and place on a hot, greased griddle or skillet.
  4. 4
    Cook for a few minutes, until the bottom of the bread starts to get golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side the same. 
  5. 5
    Remove to a plate. Serve warm with syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Note
  • Bread: I like to use thick sliced bread, like Sara Lee Artesano, Texas Toast, or leftover homemade bread. It’s appealing (but not necessary) whether the bread is a few days old or slightly stale. Even try using cinnamon toast or brioche!
  • Flour: My Secret Ingredient! The flour helps to make more of a “batter” for dipping the bread, which yields extra fluffy and delicious French toast. 
  • Milk: Any kind of milk will work (even dairy-free), but the higher the fat milk, the creamier the batter will be. Whole milk works great, and you could even add a little splash of cream if you like.
  • Make Ahead Instructions: The batter can be made 1-2 days ahead of time, depending on the freshness of your ingredients. 
  • Freezing Instructions: Allow French toast to cool completely and store in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Rewarm on a skillet, in the toaster, or for a few seconds in the microwave.
