Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

    divided

  • Pinch of salt
  • 8 slices Brioche bread
  • Unsalted butter

    for cooking

  • Maple syrup

    powdered sugar, and berries for serving, if desired

Directions

  1. 1

    If using an electric griddle, preheat the griddle to 350 degrees F.

  2. 2

    In a shallow pan or pie plate, add the eggs, milk, vanilla, half of the cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Dip each side of the bread in the egg mixture. Note-add the other half of the cinnamon after you have dipped half of your bread slices and mix again. This will make sure all of the slices get a good amount of cinnamon.

  4. 4

    Melt a little butter on the hot griddle or in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the French toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

  5. 5

    Serve the French toast warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and berries, if desired.

  6. 6

    Note-to keep the French toast warm, heat the oven to 200 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a large baking sheet and place the French toast on the rack. Keep warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes.

About this Recipe

Craving a comforting start to your day that's both simple and satisfying? This easy French toast recipe promises a light and fluffy experience, making it a beloved family favorite for any morning.

Why This French Toast Works

The secret to truly exceptional French toast lies in two key elements: the bread and the custard. Our recipe leverages rich Brioche bread, known for its buttery crumb, which soaks up the creamy egg mixture beautifully without becoming soggy. The custard itself is a simple yet potent blend of eggs, whole milk, and the warmth of vanilla and cinnamon, ensuring every bite is infused with delightful flavor and a wonderfully tender texture. It's a quick prep and cook, meaning a delicious breakfast is just 30 minutes away.

What to Expect

Prepare your senses for a truly indulgent breakfast. You'll enjoy French toast with a delicately crisp, golden-brown exterior that yields to an irresistibly soft, custardy interior. Each slice carries a gentle sweetness, complemented by the aromatic spice of cinnamon and the subtle richness of vanilla. It’s a comforting, deeply satisfying dish that evokes cozy weekend mornings and promises a delightful start to your day. This recipe delivers a classic, feel-good breakfast experience that’s simple enough for any home cook.

Customization & Variations

While Brioche is a fantastic choice, you can experiment with other thick-cut, day-old breads like challah or even a sturdy sourdough for different textures. Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon to your preference, or add a tiny pinch of nutmeg for an extra layer of spice. For serving, beyond the classic maple syrup, try a dusting of powdered sugar or a vibrant medley of fresh berries to add a pop of color and tartness.

Serving & Context

This French toast is perfect for a leisurely weekend breakfast, a special brunch, or even a delightful 'brinner' (breakfast for dinner). Serve warm, generously drizzled with maple syrup and adorned with your favorite toppings for a truly memorable meal.
