French toast is a classic comfort food that transforms simple bread into a golden, fluffy breakfast treat. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, it’s easy to make at home, with eggs, milk, and a touch of sweetness. 

Ingredients

4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or brioche) 2 large eggs 1/2 cup milk 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tbsp sugar or honey Butter or oil Maple syrup, honey, or powdered sugar 

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to lightly coat the surface.

Step 3

Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not overly soaked.

Step 4

Place the dipped bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. 

Step 5

Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter or oil as needed.

Step 6

Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
