Classic Skillet French Toast

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 200°F (95°C) and set a sheet pan inside to keep finished slices warm.
  2. Crack the eggs into a wide, shallow dish and whisk until no streaks of white remain.
  3. Whisk in the milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt until the cinnamon is mixed in.
  4. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it foams.
  5. Lay 2 slices of bread in the custard and let them soak, then flip and soak the other side. They should feel heavy but not fall apart.
  6. Lift the slices, let the extra custard drip back into the dish and lay them in the hot pan.
  7. Cook until the bottom is deep golden brown.
