Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 0.667 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 6 slices Thick-cut bread (Texas toast or brioche)
- 2 tablespoons (for cooking) Butter or cooking oil
- 0 Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit (optional toppings)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Dip one slice of bread at a time into the egg mixture, allowing the bread to soak for about 5-10 seconds on each side. Make sure it is evenly coated but not overly saturated, which could cause it to fall apart.
Step 4
Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Step 5
Repeat the soaking and cooking process with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed between batches.
Step 6
Once all slices are cooked, serve the French toast warm. Optional: Top with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Step 7
Enjoy your homemade copycat version of Denny's Fabulous French Toast!
