How to Make French Toast

Who doesn’t love waking up to the warm aroma of freshly-made French toast wafting through the kitchen? This classic breakfast dish is a favorite for its simplicity and deliciousness. If you’ve ever wondered how to make French toast that’s perfectly golden on the outside and soft on the inside, look no further. Follow these easy steps, and you’ll be on your way to becoming a French toast masterchef in no time.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• Eggs
• Milk
• Vanilla extract
• Ground cinnamon
• Slices of bread (Tip: Use slightly stale bread for optimal results)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Gather Your Ingredients: You’ll need bread slices (preferably slightly stale), eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Don’t forget butter or oil for frying.
2. Whisk the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, vanilla extract, and cinnamon
3. Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow the bread to soak for about 5-10 seconds per side, allowing the flavors to meld to soak in. Be sure not to over soak.
4. Heat the Pan: Melt butter or heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the soaked bread slices in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy..
5. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer your golden-brown French toast to a plate and serve hot. Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with powdered sugar, or top with your favorite fruits.

Tips for Success:

• Use thick slices of bread, my favorites are Texas toast, brioche or challah, for a decadent texture.
• Experiment with different toppings like fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a dollop of whipped cream.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet – cook the French toast in batches for even cooking.
