Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture

  • Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish until well combined.

Soak the Bread

  • Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let the bread soak for about 15-20 seconds per side, allowing it to absorb the custard.

Cook the French Toast

  • Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the bread slices in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve the French toast immediately. Top with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect French Toast

  • For extra fluffy French toast, use slightly stale bread. The bread will absorb the custard better, resulting in a softer texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan! Cooking in batches ensures even browning and prevents the bread from steaming instead of frying.
  • Experiment with different types of milk! Whole milk will create richer, creamier French toast, while using buttermilk will add a tangy twist.
  • Get creative with toppings! Consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon, a drizzle of honey, or some chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
