Ingredients
  

French Toast Base
  • 4 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 12 slices day-old sandwich bread
Optional Toppings
  • Butter for serving
  • maple syrup for serving
  • fresh berries for serving
  • confectioners' sugar for serving

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
  2. Preheat a greased griddle over medium heat.
  3. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture. Let it soak for about 30 seconds on each side so the bread absorbs the liquid.
  4. Cook the soaked bread on the hot griddle until it is golden brown on both sides.
  5. Serve the cooked bread immediately with your desired toppings like butter, syrup, berries, or confectioners' sugar.
