Easy French Toast Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Custard [00:32]

• In a bowl, beat together 3 large eggs.
• Add 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well until no streaks of egg remain.

Step 4: Soak the Bread [01:42]

• Place 8 slices of hearty white bread in a single layer on the baking sheet, allowing them to soak in the custard for about 1/4 inch on each side.

Step 5: Bake the French Toast [02:23]

Step 7: Flip and Serve [03:28]
