Home-Style French Toast – French toast is simple, versatile, and luxurious. It requires minimal ingredients, many of which are already available at home. Plain white bread is the standard, but store-bought Italian works really well, too. Brioche or raisin bread can kick up things a notch. A shallow bowl works best for coating the bread slices. Toppings can range from syrup, to jam, to fresh fruit. You can add whipped cream for special occasions like Mother’s Day.
Ingredients
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup milk
4 slices bread
Preparation
- With a whisk or fork, beat egg, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Stir in milk.
- Dip bread slices in egg mixture, and coat both sides evenly.
- Cook bread slices on a lightly greased, nonstick griddle or skillet on medium heat until browned on both sides.
Serve with warmed syrup, and jam or top with sliced strawberries and blueberries.
