Best French Toast Recipe

Sonja Overhiser

Here’s how to make French toast! This recipe really is the best: caramelized on the outside with a sweet custardy interior.

Ingredients 9

4 eggs
½ cup milk (whole or 2 %*)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
8 slices bread from Italian or French loaf, sourdough, challah, or brioche loaf (cut 3/4” thick)**
2 tablespoons butter, for cooking

01
In a wide shallow bowl or container, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and kosher salt .
02
Preheat a griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Soak each side of 4 slices of bread in the egg mixture until it becomes saturated (about 10 to 15 seconds per side for an artisan or sourdough bread**). Place the bread on the hot skillet and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, until browned.
03
Repeat with the remaining butter and 4 slices bread. Serve immediately with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar.
