Tips for Perfect Cinnamon Vanilla French Toast
- Don’t Rush the Cooking: Keep the griddle on medium heat to ensure your French toast cooks through without burning the outside. Patience leads to the perfect crisp texture.
- Customize Toppings: Add fresh fruit like strawberries, blueberries, or sliced bananas for a fruity touch. Or, drizzle with chocolate syrup for an indulgent twist.
- Use Stale Bread: If you have leftover bread, it actually works better for French toast as it absorbs more of the egg mixture without becoming too soggy.
