How to Make Mom's French Toast

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Dip bread slices into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Let the bread soak for about 15-20 seconds per side to allow for absorption.
  3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the bread slices onto the griddle.
  4. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite syrup, fruit, whipped cream – get creative!
  6. Makes approximately 6 slices, depending on bread size. Recipe easily doubles.
