Ingredients
Scale
French Toast Base
- 6 slices thick-cut bread (Brioche or Texas Toast)
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For Cooking
- 2 tablespoons butter
For Serving
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh berries
Instructions
- Preheat Griddle: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium heat to ensure an even cooking surface and perfect golden browning.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Dip Bread: Submerge each slice of thick-cut bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly to allow the bread to soak up the flavors and moisture.
- Melt Butter on Griddle: Place the butter on the hot griddle and let it melt completely to create a non-stick surface and add richness.
- Cook French Toast: Place the coated bread slices onto the griddle and cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Serve Immediately: Remove the French toast from the griddle and serve hot topped with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh berries for a delicious finish.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bread like brioche or Texas toast for best texture and soakability.
- Adjust the heat as needed on the griddle to prevent burning while ensuring thorough cooking.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
- Leftover French toast can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster or oven, though it’s best fresh.
- Use fresh berries of your choice such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries to enhance freshness and color.
