Classic French Toast with Maple Syrup Recipe

French · Main course · 15 min total

A beloved breakfast classic, this French toast is golden and custardy on the inside with a crisp, buttery exterior, drizzled with pure maple syrup.

Ingredients

• 8 slices (1-inch thick) brioche or challah bread
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for serving
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

1. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
2. Place a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter.
3. Working in batches, dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 15 seconds per side, allowing excess to drip off.
4. Place soaked bread in the hot skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add remaining butter as needed.
5. Transfer cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
6. Serve immediately with a pat of butter and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips

• Use day-old bread for best texture; it absorbs the custard without becoming soggy.
• Adjust the thickness of bread slices to your preference; thicker slices yield a softer center.
• Keep cooked French toast warm in a 200°F oven while finishing the batch.
