Ingredients | Buttermilk French Toast Recipe

2 eggs

½ cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground allspice

1 pinch salt

6 (1 inch thick) slices French bread

1 tablespoon butter, or as needed

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, allspice, and salt together in a large bowl. Place bread slices in egg mixture and soak, turning to coat, until bread is completely saturated.

Melt butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook bread in hot butter until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer toasted bread to a baking sheet.

Bake toast in the oven until outside is crisp and slightly puffed, 12 to 15 minutes.
