How to Make French Toast - I Heart Recipes

Ingredients

• 3 pieces Large Eggs (room temperature)
• 1 cup Whole Milk (can use 2% or skim milk)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (pure vanilla recommended)
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar (packed)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg (freshly grated if possible)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted, plus extra for cooking and topping)
• 4 slices Thick Sliced Bread (about 1 inch thick; maple‑swirl brand optional)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar (for dusting (optional))
• 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (pure maple syrup, for serving (optional))

Instructions

1. Make the Batter

   Crack the three large eggs into a baking dish and lightly beat. Add the milk, vanilla extract, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved.

   Time: PT3M

2. Soak the Bread

   One by one, place each thick slice of bread into the batter. Let each side sit for about 5 seconds (total ~10 seconds per slice) so the bread soaks up the liquid without becoming soggy.

   Time: PT2M

3. Preheat the Griddle

   Spray the electric griddle (or skillet) with nonstick spray and heat over medium heat (about 350°F).

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: 350°F

4. Cook the French Toast

   Place the soaked bread onto the hot griddle. Cook until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side. Flip once and cook the other side. Avoid pressing down on the bread.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: 350°F

5. Finish and Serve

   Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate. Drizzle with melted butter, dust with powdered sugar, and pour maple syrup over the top if desired.

   Time: PT2M
