Chef Johns French Toast Recipe

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 6 (1 inch thick) slices French bread
  • 1 tablespoon butter, or as needed
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, allspice, and salt together in a large bowl. Place bread slices in egg mixture and soak, turning to coat, until bread is completely saturated.
  3. Melt butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook bread in hot butter until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer toasted bread to a baking sheet.
  4. Bake toast in the oven until outside is crisp and slightly puffed, 12 to 15 minutes.
