Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Butter for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, honey, and ground cinnamon until completely smooth and well combined.
- Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter to coat the cooking surface.
- Take each slice of bread and briefly dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not soaked through. Allow excess mixture to drip off.
- Carefully place the coated bread slice onto the heated, buttered skillet. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Watch the heat carefully to prevent burning, adjusting temperature as needed to achieve an even, golden color.
- Once cooked, transfer French toast to a serving plate. Optional: Drizzle additional honey on top and sprinkle with extra cinnamon.
- Serve immediately while warm. Can be accompanied by fresh berries, whipped cream, or maple syrup if desired.
Tips
- • Use day-old bread for the best texture - slightly stale bread absorbs the egg mixture more evenly • Make sure your skillet is at medium heat to prevent burning • Don't soak the bread too long, or it will become soggy • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for the most even cooking • Butter is key for that beautiful golden-brown color and crispy edges • Serve immediately for maximum crispiness and flavor • Experiment with toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, or maple syrup for extra indulgence
