Classic Cinnamon French Toast

This Classic Cinnamon French Toast recipe uses jumbo eggs and a touch of warm cinnamon to create a deliciously comforting breakfast. Thick slices of bread are soaked in a rich egg and milk mixture, then pan-fried to a golden perfection. Perfect served with syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a cozy start to your day.

Serves 6 to 7 people (about 12–14 slices of French toast)

Ingredients

• 7 jumbo eggs
• 1 cup milk (or cream for richer toast)
• 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• A pinch of salt
• 12–14 slices of bread (thick-cut preferred)
• Butter or oil for greasing the pan

Instructions

1. Prepare the batter:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar (if using), cinnamon, and salt until the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
2. Soak the bread:
   Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly soggy.
3. Cook the toast:
   Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease with butter or oil. Place the soaked bread on the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 2–3 minutes per side.
4. Serve:
   Serve warm with your favorite toppings, like syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
