French Toast Recipe

Serves 4; 30 min

INGREDIENTS
  • 8 thick slices bread (a hearty white bread should work, about 1/2″ slices)
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk, warmed
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted plus extra for skillet
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
PREPARATION
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Place bread on a wire rack or baking sheet and bake bread for 7- 8 minutes. Flip, then bake another 8 minutes. Remove from rack and let cool 5 minutes.
  3. Whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl until well blended.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a large baking dish.
  5. Soak the bread in the mixture about 20 seconds per side, then transfer to a separate baking sheet, so it doesn’t get soggy.
  6. Lower oven temperature to 200F (to keep cooked french toast warm).
  7. Add butter to a skillet, and cook over low heat. Transfer slices of bread to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes.
  8. Transfer toast to a baking sheet, and place in the oven.
  9. Repeat until all toast is cooked. Serve warm with butter, powdered sugar, and/or maple syrup.
  10. Enjoy!
