DINER-STYLE FRENCH TOAST

Diner-Style French Toast image

Diner cooks know three things about French toast: 1. Thick-cut challah is crucial. 2. Cinnamon and vanilla shouldn't be skimped on. 3. Syrup is welcome-but if you do it right, a dusting of powdered sugar is all you really need.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided
8 (3/4-inch-thick) slices challah or other rich, dense bread
Powdered sugar and maple syrup (for serving)

Steps:

Whisk eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
Heat a large griddle or 2 cast-iron or nonstick skillets over medium. Brush with a thin coating of oil, then a thin coating of butter.
Working in batches, dip each slice of bread into egg mixture. Cook, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bread, brushing griddle with remaining oil and butter as needed. Dust French toast with powdered sugar just before serving. Serve with maple syrup alongside.

Time 8h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar
½ cup butter
1 (8 ounce) loaf crusty French bread, cut into bite-size pieces, or as needed
2 cups milk
6 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar, or as needed

Steps:

Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.
Stir 1 cup brown sugar and butter together in a saucepan over medium-low heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves into butter, 2 to 4 minutes. Pour into prepared baking dish and spread a 1 1/2- to 2-inch layer of bread pieces over the top.
Beat milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; pour milk mixture over bread into the baking dish and move bread as necessary to ensure all bread is absorbing liquid. Sprinkle cinnamon over the top. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Remove and discard plastic wrap from baking dish and sprinkle remaining brown sugar over the top of the bread mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until browned and bubbling, about 30 minutes.

For a richer flavor, use a mixture of milk and cream in the egg batter.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the egg batter for a warm, spiced flavor.
