Classic French Toast Recipe

Ingredients:

1. Bread:
   • Use thick slices of bread (day-old bread is ideal). Recommended types include:
     • Brioche¹(https://www.loveandlemons.com/french-toast/)
     • Challah
     • Sourdough
     • Texas toast
     • White sandwich bread²(https://iambaker.net/the-best-french-toast-ever/).
2. Eggs: 4 large eggs³(https://soulfoodcooking101.com/easy-french-toast-recipe/).
3. Milk: 1 cup of whole milk (or your preferred milk alternative) for richness and moisture¹(https://www.loveandlemons.com/french-toast/).
4. Sugar: 1-2 tablespoons, for sweetness⁴(https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/classic-french-toast/).
5. Cinnamon: 1-2 teaspoons for flavor (substitute with nutmeg if desired)^19.
6. Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon for added depth of flavor⁵(https://www.rachelcooks.com/french-toast-recipe/).
7. Butter: For cooking, adding richness to the final dish³(https://soulfoodcooking101.com/easy-french-toast-recipe/).

Instructions:

1. Prepare the batter:
   • In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined and smooth⁵(https://www.rachelcooks.com/french-toast-recipe/).
2. Dip the bread:
   • Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat and add a couple of tablespoons of butter.
   • Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture for about 10-15 seconds per side, ensuring it’s well coated but not overly soaked to avoid sogginess⁶(https://www.eater.com/24325088/best-french-toast-recipe).
3. Cook the French toast:
   • Place the soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-4 minutes or until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side⁵(https://www.rachelcooks.com/french-toast-recipe/).
4. Serve:
   • Once golden brown, remove from the skillet. Serve hot, topped with maple syrup, fresh fruits (like berries or banana slices), a dusting of powdered sugar, or other preferred toppings⁴(https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/classic-french-toast/).

Storage Tips:

• Refrigeration: Leftover French toast can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days⁴(https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/classic-french-toast/).
• Freezing: French toast can be frozen for up to 3 months. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag⁶(https://www.eater.com/24325088/best-french-toast-recipe).

Additional Notes:

• Choosing the right bread: Stale or day-old bread absorbs the egg mixture better than fresh bread, yielding a fluffier texture³(https://soulfoodcooking101.com/easy-french-toast-recipe/).
• Variations: For a more decadent flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or even a splash of rum to the custard⁷(https://www.eater.com/21405683/banana-french-toast-recipe-dominique-ansel-chocolate).

Using this recipe, you’ll create delicious, fluffy French toast that’s perfect for breakfast or brunch. Enjoy your homemade treat .
