Why You’ll Love This French Toast

This recipe works because it combines:

• Creamy eggs for a rich texture
• Vanilla and cinnamon for warm flavor
• Butter for a perfectly golden crust
• Thick bread that stays soft inside

We recommend using brioche, a rich, buttery bread that’s ideal for French toast because it soaks up the custard without falling apart
