Ohhh yes 😌 French toast—classic breakfast comfort, crispy edges with a soft, custardy center. Here’s a perfect restaurant-style version:
🍞 Classic French Toast
Ingredients (2–3 servings)
- 4 slices thick bread (brioche, challah, or Texas toast work best)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk (or cream for richer custard)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for frying
- Toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, whipped cream
Instructions
- Make custard
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- Soak bread
- Dip each slice in the custard, letting it soak 10–20 seconds per side. Don’t oversoak if bread is fragile.
- Cook
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Melt butter or heat oil.
- Fry bread slices 2–3 min per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Serve
- Serve hot with syrup, powdered sugar, or berries.
Pro Tips
- Thicker bread = better custard absorption without falling apart
- For extra flavor: add a pinch of nutmeg or orange zest to the custard
- Keep cooked slices warm in a 200°F oven while cooking the rest
- Try stuffed French toast: cream cheese + jam, or Nutella + banana
I can also give you a baked French toast casserole, a fluffy souffle-style version, or a low-carb/vegan French toast if you want 😏.
Do you want me to give one of those variations?
