How to Make Basic French Toast
- Crack 2 large eggs into a shallow dish and whisk vigorously until yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Add 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt to the egg mixture.
- Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the ingredients are thoroughly blended.
- Dip one slice of bread at a time into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Let the bread soak for about 15-20 seconds per side to allow it to absorb the custard.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the soaked bread slices onto the griddle.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately. Top with butter, your favorite syrup (maple syrup is classic!), powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or whipped cream for an extra special treat!
