Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or Texas toast)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) whole milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Cooking and Serving:
- Butter or oil, for greasing griddle
- Maple syrup (optional)
- Powdered sugar (optional)
- Fresh fruit (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the Blackstone griddle to a medium temperature, creating an ideal cooking surface for the French toast.
- Craft a luxurious batter by whisking eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and a delicate salt sprinkle in a shallow vessel until the mixture reaches a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gently submerge each bread slice into the aromatic egg mixture, ensuring thorough coverage on both sides. Allow excess liquid to gracefully drip away, preventing soggy results.
- Prepare the griddle surface with a light brushing of butter or oil, creating a non-stick foundation for perfect caramelization.
- Carefully transfer the saturated bread slices onto the heated griddle, positioning them with precision.
- Monitor the toast closely, allowing each side to transform into a golden-brown delicacy. Flip once during cooking, typically requiring 2-4 minutes per side to achieve a crisp exterior and tender interior.
- Remove the French toast when it reaches a rich, amber color and feels firm to the touch, indicating complete cooking.
- Transfer the finished pieces to serving plates, ready to be adorned with preferred toppings like powdered sugar, maple syrup, or fresh berries.
Notes
- Customize bread selection by using thick-cut challah, brioche, or Texas toast for extra richness and better absorption of the egg mixture.
- Reduce sugar content for a less sweet version by cutting sugar in half or replacing with monk fruit sweetener for low-carb diets.
- Experiment with dairy-free alternatives like almond milk or oat milk to accommodate lactose-intolerant or vegan preferences, ensuring similar creamy texture.
- Use clarified butter or coconut oil on the griddle for enhanced flavor and better browning, creating a crispy exterior while maintaining a soft interior.
