French Toast is a beloved breakfast classic that involves slices of bread soaked in a mixture of eggs, milk, and spices, then fried to golden perfection. Often served with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, and fresh fruit, French Toast is a comforting and indulgent morning treat that’s perfect for any day of the week.
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter to melt.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not soaked through.
- Place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 more minutes.
- Remove the French toast from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the French toast hot, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with maple syrup and fresh berries.
