Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat the griddle.
- Combine eggs, milk, and cinnamon in a deep dish and beat until smooth.
- Once the griddle is heated, add a little butter and spread it around on the griddle.
- Dip bread slices into the batter and place them on the griddle.
- Cook for a couple of minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove from the griddle and add butter or margarine and syrup or fruit to your liking.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk or adding a splash of vanilla extract to the egg mixture. If you prefer a dairy-free option, almond or oat milk works well. Ground nutmeg can also be added for extra warmth. Be careful not to soak the bread too long; just a quick dip will suffice for a fluffy texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your French toast warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup. Fresh fruit, such as berries or banana slices, adds a refreshing touch. For a more indulgent meal, pair with crispy bacon or sausage, complementing these flavors with a side of good Cajun biscuits for a hearty breakfast.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, allow the cooked French toast to cool completely, then place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For reheating, use a toaster or a hot skillet for a couple of minutes on each side to restore its crispy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use any type of bread for this recipe?
Absolutely! While traditional choices like challah or brioche are fantastic for their sweetness and texture, you can use whole wheat, gluten-free, or even leftover bagels. Each type will impart its unique flavor, making it a versatile recipe.
How can I make this recipe healthier?
You can reduce the calories by using egg whites instead of whole eggs. Additionally, substitute the milk with unsweetened almond milk and use a light spread instead of butter. Topping with fresh fruit instead of syrup can also lower sugar content while adding natural sweetness.
What can I do if I don't have a griddle?
If you don't have a griddle, a non-stick skillet works perfectly as an alternative. Just ensure that it's well-preheated and lightly greased. You can also make smaller batches in multiple skillets if needed, ensuring even cooking of all the slices.
