   About this recipe
   Classic French Toast turns sturdy bread into custardy, cinnamon-scented slices with crisp browned edges. Day-old bread soaks up the egg-milk mixture without falling apart. This breakfast recipe serves 4 and is rated easy difficulty. Plan about 10 minutes of prep and 12 minutes of cooking.
   
   What you will need ready
   - 8 slice bread
   - 4 eggs
   - 0.75 cup milk
   - 3 tbsp butter
   - 1 tsp cinnamon
   - 2 tbsp honey (optional)
   
   Step-by-step
   1. Whisk 4 eggs, 0.75 cup milk, and 1 tsp cinnamon in a wide shallow dish until fully combined and slightly frothy.
   2. Lay out 8 slice bread slices. Day-old or thick-cut bread works best; very fresh bread may get soggy.
   3. Dip each slice 3–4 seconds per side—enough to saturate but not so long it breaks apart. Let excess drip back into the dish.
   4. Heat a large skillet over medium and melt half of 3 tbsp butter. The pan should sizzle gently when bread hits it.
   5. Cook soaked bread in a single layer 2–3 minutes per side until deeply golden and crisp at the edges.
   6. Work in batches so the pan is not overcrowded. Add remaining butter between batches as needed.
   7. Lower heat slightly if toast browns too fast before the center sets.
   8. Press the center lightly with a spatula—it should feel set, not wet and squishy.
   9. Transfer finished slices to a warm plate or a 200°F oven while you finish the rest.
   10. Drizzle warm 2 tbsp honey over the toast just before serving.
   11. Cut diagonally for classic presentation and dust with a pinch of extra cinnamon if desired.
   12. Serve hot—the contrast of crisp edges and soft custardy center is best fresh off the pan.
   
   Serving
   Serve 2 slices per person with honey, maple syrup, or fresh berries. Great with bacon on the side. Leftovers reheat in a 350°F oven 5–8 minutes; refrigerate within 2 hours.
   
   Cook tips
   - Medium heat prevents burnt butter while the custard sets inside.
   - Quick dips—not long soaks—give the best texture.
   - Thicker bread needs an extra 30 seconds per side.
   - A pinch of salt in the custard balances sweetness if your bread is plain.

   Serving

   Cook tips
   - Wilt spinach before eggs so water evaporates.
   - Medium-low for creamy eggs.
   - Squeeze excess water from spinach if it releases a lot.
   - Fresh pepper at the end brightens flavor.
