Instructions
Creating the perfect Classic French Toast is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
2. Soak the Bread: Take a slice of your chosen bread and dip it into the custard mixture. Make sure to soak it for a few seconds on each side for maximum flavor absorption.
3. Preheat the Pan: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add one tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and foam before proceeding.
4. Cook the Toast: Place the soaked bread slice on the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
5. Repeat: Add more butter for each new batch of bread slices, repeating the soaking and cooking process.
6. Serve: Once cooked, transfer the slices to warm plates and repeat until all your slices are done.
7. Add Toppings: Drizzle each slice with maple syrup, optionally adding fresh fruits or a dusting of powdered sugar.
