Ingredients
Bread: Thick-cut Brioche or Challah (or other bread of your choice) – per preference
4 large Egg
Whole milk: 3/4 cup
2 tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
pinch Salt
1 tbsp Butter
Instructions
1
In a large bowl, crack four eggs. Add the whole milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until it is smooth and well-combined.
2
If you want to keep your French toast warm, preheat your oven to 200°F and prepare a baking sheet with a wire rack to hold the finished slices.
3
Place a pan over medium heat. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter per batch, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly. If your stove runs very hot, you can use a mix of butter and vegetable oil to prevent burning.
4
Take your thick-cut bread (such as Brioche or Challah) and dip each slice into the custard mixture. For a light coating, dip for a few seconds; for a more custardy center, soak for about 5 seconds per side.
5
Place the soaked bread into the hot pan. Cook for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Add more butter to the pan between batches as needed.
6
Transfer cooked slices to the prepared wire rack in the oven while finishing the remaining batches. Serve warm with toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, and whipped cream.
