Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup butter, softened
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
12 slices bread (thick slices)

Steps:

  • Adjust oven racks, one on lowest position and the other in the middle position.
  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Grease 2 cookie sheets with 2 Tbsp.
  • of the above butter.
  • Beat eggs, milk, powdered sugar, vanilla and cinnamon.
  • Dip bread in the egg mixture and place on cookie sheets.
  • Cut remaining butter into pieces and scatter over bread.
  • Place on racks, bake for 7 minutes, switch cookie sheets and continue to bake for 8 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with a bit of powdered sugar when done.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better and results in a more flavorful and structured French toast.
  • Whisk the egg mixture thoroughly: Make sure the eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla extract are well combined to ensure an even coating on the bread.
  • Soak the bread slices briefly: Don't soak the bread for too long, as it can become soggy. Just a few seconds on each side is enough to absorb the egg mixture.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat: This allows the French toast to cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the French toast only once: Flipping the French toast too often can break it apart. Once the bottom side is golden brown, carefully flip it once and cook until the other side is also golden brown.
  • Serve immediately: French toast is best served hot and fresh out of the oven. Top with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
