Don’t worry if your bread isn’t super-fresh. French toast is best made with slightly stale bread, which won’t fall apart when it’s soaked with egg.

first soak the bread slices

In a shallow bowl or baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Add the bread slices and let soak, turning once or twice, until all of the egg mixture has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.

thencook the french toast

Heat a large frying pan or griddle over medium heat until hot, but not smoking. Add the butter. Using a spatula, spread the butter evenly over the pan bottom. Add the soaked bread slices in a single layer. Cook until the bottoms are golden, about 2 minutes. Slide the spatula underneath each bread slice and carefully flip it over. Cook until the second sides are golden and the centers puff slightly, about 2 minutes longer.

finally serve the french toast

Transfer the French toast to individual serving plates. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
