Crispy French Toast 6 bread slices 1/2 cup milk 2 eggs, beaten 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1 tablespoon oil Beat eggs. Add milk, sugar, and cinnamon and mix together. Use a fork to dip each bread slice into the mixture one at a time. The key here is to dip it in the mixture long enough to soak well, but not too long so you avoid it breaking apart. Cook bread on a hot griddle or skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Use a potato masher to gently press down so your French toast is crispy and golden in the center without burning the crust. Serves 3.
