French Toast Recipe

Sweet breakfast dreams are made of this – thick slices of bread dipped in a rich egg mixture, grilled to golden perfection, and sprinkled with a pinch of warm spices.

This French toast recipe is a morning classic, perfect for lazy Sundays or cozy breakfasts with the ones you love.

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 14 slices of bread (preferably a day-old bread)
• Cinnamon or nutmeg for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, and salt until well combined. Add the melted butter and whisk until smooth.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly. Place the coated bread slices on the skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices.

Serve warm, sprinkled with cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.

Notes

For best results, use a day-old bread as it will soak up the egg mixture nicely and yield a crispy exterior with a fluffy interior.

Keep the bread slices in a single layer on the skillet or griddle to ensure even cooking and to prevent them from sticking together.

Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste, or omit it altogether if you prefer a less sweet breakfast.

Don’t overcrowd the skillet or griddle, cook the French toast in batches if necessary, to ensure they cook evenly and don’t break apart.

Freshly grated nutmeg adds a nice depth of flavor, but you can stick with cinnamon if you prefer.

You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the egg mixture for an extra boost of flavor.
