Perfect French Toast

Make the custard. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.

Dip the bread. Quickly dip each slice of brioche or Texas toast in the custard, coating both sides. For thicker slices, let them soak slightly longer until moistened through but not soggy.

Cook. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a knob of butter. Cook the bread for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Lower heat if browning too quickly.

Keep warm. Transfer cooked slices to a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you finish the batch.

Serve. Enjoy warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or any of your favorite toppings. Enjoy!!
