Equipment needed for this recipe:
How to make Texas French Toast:
Preheat a 16 inch electric skillet for medium low heat at 325 degrees F.
Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a shallow bowl or dish big enough for bread to lie flat.
Add the butter to the skillet until melted.
Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, flipping them over to coat both sides, and place in the skillet.
If the skillet is big enough, place all of the coated bread slices in the pan and fry about 4 – 5 minutes per side. If the skillet isn’t big enough, fry the slices in batches but the total time for the recipe will increase.
Serve topped with pats of butter and syrup or your favorite toppings.
