ChefXi OfficialClassic, fluffy thick-cut Texas toast soaked in a rich vanilla-cinnamon custard and griddled to golden perfection.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Whisk thoroughly so there are no streaks of egg white left.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 15-20 seconds per side.
Don't over-soak or the bread will fall apart.
Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the soaked bread in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp.
If the bread browns too fast, lower the heat to ensure the middle sets.
The key to Texas French Toast is using thick-sliced brioche or Texas toast bread and letting it soak just long enough to absorb the custard without becoming soggy. Use a medium-low heat to ensure the center cooks through while the outside turns golden brown.
