Ingredients

  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 loaf (1 lb) brioche or challah bread, cut into 3/4-inch thick slices
  • 2 teaspoons powdered sugar

Steps

  • 1
    In medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, granulated sugar, cinnamon and vanilla until well blended.
  • 2
    Heat nonstick griddle to 375°F or skillet over medium heat. Grease with vegetable oil, if necessary.
  • 3
    Dip bread slices into egg mixture, coating both sides. Place on griddle. Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Sprinkle each serving with powdered sugar. Serve with syrup, if desired.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For a richer flavor, use whole milk.
  • tip 2
    If you want to dry the bread slices before making French toast, place in single layer on baking rack. Let stand 2 hours or overnight to dry.
  • tip 3
    Top French toast with fresh berries such as raspberries, blueberries, strawberries or blackberries.
  • tip 4
    The key to making great French toast lies in bringing the griddle or skillet to the right temperature. Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat (375°F) for about 10 minutes before cooking.
