Recipe

delicious golden french toast

French toast is a classic breakfast dish made with bread soaked in a mixture of eggs and milk, then fried to golden perfection.

It’s simple, delicious, and perfect for a cozy morning meal.

Ingredients:

  • 4 slices of thick-cut bread (brioche or challah work best)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
  • Maple syrup and powdered sugar (for serving)

Instructions:

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
  2. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter.
  3. Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10-15 seconds per side.
  4. Place the soaked bread on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  5. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.
  6. Serve warm with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes:

  • Stale bread absorbs the mixture better without falling apart.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar to the egg mixture.

Time:

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 10 minutes
  • Serving: 2-4 people

What To Serve With It

Pairing French toast with the right sides can turn a simple breakfast into a meal that’s truly special.

I love adding fresh berries or a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweet touch—it’s classic and delicious. For something savory, crispy bacon or scrambled eggs work perfectly.

If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll whip up some whipped cream or a dollop of yogurt on the side. A sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dash of cinnamon never hurts, either.

And don’t forget a hot cup of coffee or orange juice to round it all out. Trust me, it’s a combo that’ll make your morning unforgettable.
