French Toast Recipe

Ever looked at a slice of bread and thought, “You could do better”? French toast agrees with you. It’s the glow-up your day-old loaf deserves. Crunchy outside, soft inside, smells like Sunday morning, and tastes like a hug. Best part? It takes almost zero effort. Lazy but tasty.

What is French Toast

French toast is bread soaked in a sweet egg mixture, then pan-fried to golden perfection.
You can top it with syrup, fruit, butter, whipped cream, or all of the above.
It’s easy, quick, and gives you a reason to brag about breakfast.

Ingredients

• 4 slices of bread (thick and a little stale works best)
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• Butter for cooking
• Maple syrup for serving

How to Make French Toast Easy

1. Crack and mix
   • In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
   • Make sure it’s smooth and the cinnamon isn’t clumping like a rebel.
2. Soak the bread
   • Dip each slice in the egg mix.
   • Let it soak for about 10 seconds per side.
   • Don’t drown it—this is breakfast, not a pool party.

How to Cook French Toast

1. Heat the pan
   • Melt a bit of butter on medium heat.
   • Wait until it sizzles.
2. Cook it
   • Place soaked bread in the pan.
   • Cook for 2–3 minutes per side.
   • Flip when golden and slightly crispy.
3. Serve hot
   • Stack on a plate.
   • Pour syrup like you mean it.
   • Add fruit or powdered sugar if you want bonus points.

Tips

• Use brioche or challah for a richer flavor.
• Day-old bread works better because it soaks up the mix without falling apart.
• Don’t rush the pan. Low and steady heat makes a perfect crust.
