Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 slices of bread (Challah, brioche, or thick-cut white)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions:

  1. Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a shallow dish until well combined.
  2. Dip each slice of bread into the custard, soaking for about 15-20 seconds per side, ensuring it's well saturated but not falling apart.
  3. Melt butter in a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Ensure the pan is hot before adding the bread.
  4. Place the soaked bread slices in the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat if needed to prevent burning.
  5. Serve the french toast recipe immediately with your favorite toppings.
