Here's a simple recipe for classic:
Ingredients:
1. 4 slices of bread (preferably a day-old bread)
2. 2 large eggs
3. 1 cup of milk
4. 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
5. 1/4 teaspoon of salt
6. 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
7. Cinnamon or nutmeg for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions:
1. _Whisk Eggs and Milk_: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and salt until well combined.
2. _Heat Skillet_: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
3. _Dip Bread_: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.
4. _Cook French Toast_: Place the coated bread slices on the skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
5. _Serve Warm_: Serve the French toast warm, sprinkled with cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
Tips:
- Use a day-old bread to make the French toast, as it will soak up the egg mixture better.
- Let the bread slices sit for a minute or two after you coat them with the egg mixture to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
- Top the French toast with your favorite toppings, such as chocolate syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream.
