Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• A pinch of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
• A knob of butter
• Your favorite syrup, for serving

The eggs and milk are really the heroes of our recipe here, they work together to give us the soft, moist, delicious interior that everyone loves about French toast. While the sugar and cinnamon provide that lovely sweet flavor that we expect from French toast. If you’re out of sugar, you can substitute it with honey or maple syrup. And don’t worry if you don’t have any cinnamon, you can omit it or substitute with nutmeg.

How To Make French Toast For One

1. First up, whisk together your egg, milk, sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a shallow dish until it’s all nice and combined.
2. Next, give your bread a good soak in your egg mixture. Make sure each side gets fully coated by letting it sit in the mixture for about 20-30 seconds on each side.
3. Once the bread is soaked, melt a knob of butter in your pan over medium heat.
4. When the butter’s melted, add your soaked bread and cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until it’s golden brown and crispy. Then it’s ready to serve! Ladle on some of your favorite syrup and enjoy your delicious French toast.
5. Remember, patience is key! Let the toast cook properly, you’re aiming for a golden and slightly crispy exterior with a soft and creamy interior.

Tips For The Best Results

• Lay low with the sugar if you’re watching your sugar intake, the syrup will add a significant amount of sweetness as well!
• Make sure your pan is hot before you add the bread. This will help get a nice sear on your French toast.

Storage Tips

• If you do have leftovers, you can store your French toast in the fridge for a couple of days. Reheat it in the oven or in a pan over medium heat for the best result.
