Here’s a classic French Toast recipe—simple, delicious, and perfect for breakfast or brunch:
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or brioche)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp sugar (optional)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- Butter or oil for frying
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, honey, fresh fruits, powdered sugar
Instructions
- Make the batter:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- Dip the bread:
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly. Let it soak for a few seconds.
- Cook the French toast:
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add butter or oil.
- Cook each slice for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Serve:
- Serve hot with maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Tips:
- Stale bread works best because it absorbs the batter without falling apart.
- For a richer flavor, substitute milk with cream or half-and-half.
- Add a little nutmeg or orange zest to the batter for a flavor twist.
If you want, I can also give a savory French toast version using herbs, cheese, and spices instead of sugar.
Do you want me to do that?
