Make perfect, golden French toast quickly with this simple recipe. You get crisp edges and a custardy center using basic pantry ingredients. This is the best homemade French toast for a fast, comforting breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large slices of bread (Texas Toast or Brioche work well)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter, for the griddle

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined. This creates your foolproof French toast batter.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt until it sizzles slightly.
  3. Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides quickly. Do not let the bread soak too long, or it will become soggy.
  4. Place the coated bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed between batches.
  6. Serve your golden brown French toast immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy French toast, use slightly stale or thicker-cut bread.
  • If you want a richer flavor, substitute half the milk with half-and-half.
  • Dust with powdered sugar or serve with maple syrup for a sweet breakfast treat.
