The Best French Toast Recipe

  • BRIOCHE – Known for its firm crust and soft center.
  • SOURDOUGH – Offers a delightful contrast with its tangy flavor against the sweet French toast.
  • FRENCH BREAD – Ideal for soaking, thanks to its robust crust.
  • WHITE BREAD – A readily available option that works perfectly; soak for a shorter duration as it’s usually thinly sliced.
  • CHALLAH – A softer bread variety that also works wonders for French toast.

HOW TO MAKE FRENCH TOAST

Begin by mixing the eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow baking dish.

Gently dip each slice of bread into the mixture for approximately 3 seconds on each side. Avoid over-soaking to prevent excessive sogginess.

Next, melt some butter in a pan over medium heat and cook each slice for 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn a beautiful golden brown. If you’re making multiple batches, keep the toast warm in the oven at 250 degrees.
