A delicious twist on classic French toast using English muffins for a crispy outside and tender inside. This recipe combines a simple egg-milk batter with warm spices and brown sugar for a perfectly balanced breakfast treat that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Main

  • 4 English muffins, halved
  • Butter or nonstick cooking spray (for greasing skillet)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the skillet: Place a medium-sized skillet on the stove over medium low heat and grease it with melted butter or nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the egg batter: In a pie plate or shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Soak the English muffins: Dip a few halves of the English muffins into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for 3 minutes on one side without overcrowding, then carefully flip them and soak the other side.
  4. Cook the toast: Place the soaked English muffin halves into the preheated, greased skillet and cook each side for about 2 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  5. Finish cooking all pieces: Continue soaking and cooking the remaining English muffin halves in batches, keeping the finished pieces warm on a plate.
  6. Serve: Serve the English muffin French toast warm with maple syrup or your preferred toppings and enjoy a delightful breakfast.

Notes

  • For extra richness, use whole milk or substitute some cream in the batter.
  • Ensure not to overcrowd the skillet to maintain heat and get an even golden crust.
  • Allow the English muffins to soak long enough but not too long to avoid sogginess.
  • Maple syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar make excellent toppings for serving.
