Ingredients

• 6 thick slices of bread (such as brioche or challah)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for cooking)
• Maple syrup (for serving)

How to Make French Toast Stacks

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious French toast stacks:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
2. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the surface.
3. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow any excess to drip off.
4. Place the soaked bread slices on the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
6. Stack the French toast slices on plates, topping each stack with a pat of butter and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips for the Best Results

To ensure your French toast turns out perfectly, consider these tips:

• Use day-old bread for better absorption of the egg mixture.
• For a richer flavor, substitute half-and-half for the whole milk.
• Let the bread soak in the mixture for a few seconds longer for a custardy texture.
• Keep the cooked French toast warm in a low oven (200°F) while preparing the rest.

Easy Variations

Feel free to get creative with your French toast stacks! Here are some easy variations:

• Add a tablespoon of sugar to the egg mixture for extra sweetness.
• Incorporate orange or lemon zest into the batter for a citrusy twist.
• Top with fresh berries, sliced bananas, or whipped cream for added flavor.
• Drizzle with chocolate sauce or caramel for a decadent treat.

What to Serve With It

Complete your breakfast spread with these tasty accompaniments:

• Bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• Yogurt with granola for a healthy addition.
• Coffee or tea for the perfect beverage pairing.

Storage and Reheating

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a toaster or on a skillet over low heat until heated through. You can also pop them in the microwave for a quick option, though this may affect the texture.
