Classic French Toast Recipe for a Perfect Breakfast

Ingredients

• 4 slices of thick bread (preferably brioche or challah)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• Maple syrup for serving
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
• Fresh berries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
3. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not soaking wet, then let any excess drip off.
4. Place the coated bread slices onto the heated skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat the process with the remaining slices.
6. Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup, and optionally dusted with powdered sugar and topped with fresh berries.
