Ingredients

Instructions

  • Using a large skillet oven medium heat or electric griddle heat to 350°.
  • Melt a tablespoon of butter in skillet or on griddle.
  • In a large shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon together.
  • Soak the bread one at a time into egg mixture, flip over and soak the other side.
  • Place about 4 thick slices at a time into pan, or an amount that will fit in the skillet or on the griddle.
  • Cook until golden brown on both sides, a few minutes per side.
  • Add the remaining butter, repeat the process and continue until all the bread has been used or egg mixture has been used.
  • Remove from pan and add toppings of your choice.
  • Optional: top with butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, powdered sugar.

Notes

Storage
  • Refrigerate for up to 5 days in an airtight container. 
  • Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and freeze them for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag. 
  • Defrost overnight in the fridge if frozen. Then, microwave individual portions at 1-minute intervals until heated through. 
Tips
  • Be careful not to soak the bread for too long. You want it to absorb the egg mixture without getting soggy.
  • Medium heat is the sweet spot for thick French toast like this. It allows the egg mixture in the bread to fully cook by the time the outside is golden brown.
  • Choose the thickest Texas toast or bread of your choice possible for the heartiest texture.
