How to Make Perfect French Toast in Just 10 Minutes

Suruchi Sharma

French toast is a delicious breakfast or brunch dish made by soaking slices of bread in a mixture of eggs, milk (or cream), sugar, and spices, then frying them until golden brown.

Here’s a basic recipe to make French toast:

Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup milk (or any dairy alternative)

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

  • Pinch of salt

  • 4 slices of bread

  • 1 tbsp butter (for cooking)

  • Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

Prepare the batter: In a shallow bowl or dish, beat the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if desired), and a pinch of salt until thoroughly mixed.

Heat the pan: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.

Dip the bread: Take a slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Allow the excess to drip off.

Cook the French toast: Put the coated bread slice in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it becomes golden brown and crispy. Do the same with the rest of the bread slices.

Serve: Serve hot with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
