This recipe is perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings or when you want to impress your family with a delicious breakfast treat. Follow this step-by-step guide to make the best milk French toast. Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Beat them lightly with a whisk or fork until the yolks and whites are well combined.
Add the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the eggs. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
Preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to the pan and let it melt, ensuring the surface is evenly coated. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10-15 seconds on each side. Make sure the bread is fully saturated but not falling apart. Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated skillet. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Flip the bread using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes. The French toast should be golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed. Serve the Milk French Toast warm.
Top with your favourite toppings such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruits, or a dollop of whipped cream. With these simple steps and tips, you’ll be able to create a breakfast masterpiece that everyone will love. Enjoy your homemade Milk French Toast.
Tips for the Best Milk French Toast;
- Use day-old bread: Slightly stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better without becoming too soggy.
