A warm, comforting French toast recipe perfect for snowy mornings, featuring a crispy outside and custardy inside. Easy to make with simple pantry staples and loved by kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 thick slices of day-old bread (brioche, challah, or sturdy white sandwich bread)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or any milk of your choice (dairy-free options like almond or oat milk work well)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for cooking
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, powdered sugar, sliced bananas

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, crack 3 large eggs and whisk until fully combined.
  2. Add 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Lay 6 slices of day-old bread flat on a plate. Dip each slice into the egg mixture, soaking about 20 seconds per side without becoming soggy.
  4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.
  5. Place soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
  6. Keep cooked slices warm in a low oven (around 200°F / 90°C) if cooking in batches.
  7. Serve immediately with warm maple syrup and optional toppings like fresh fruit or powdered sugar.

Notes

Use day-old or slightly stale bread to avoid sogginess. Medium heat is key to cook through without burning. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain temperature. Keep cooked slices warm in a low oven if cooking in batches. For vegan or gluten-free options, substitute ingredients accordingly.
