There's no question that this is the best French toast recipe. The caramelized exterior meets a soft, custardlike center that practically melts in your mouth. Not only that, but it's quick and easy, too! —Audrey Rompon, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Optional toppings: Butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream and confectioners' sugar
Directions
In a shallow dish, whisk together the first 7 ingredients. Preheat a greased griddle over medium heat.
Dip bread in egg mixture, letting it soak 5 seconds on each side. Cook on griddle until golden brown on both sides. Serve with toppings as desired.
Using day-old bread from a bakery helps the French toast to be more stable. If using commercially produced brioche, be sure to allow bread to become slightly stale for best results.
