Denny’s Style French Toast
About this recipe
If you're craving a classic breakfast treat, this Denny’s Style French Toast recipe is a must-try. It's simple, delicious, and perfect for a cozy morning at home. The combination of eggs, milk, and a hint of vanilla creates a rich batter that coats thick slices of brioche, resulting in a delightful texture and flavor.
This version is inspired by a popular diner favorite, but made right in your own kitchen. With a few easy steps, you can whip up a batch that’s golden brown and crispy on the edges, just like you’d get at Denny’s.
Ingredient notes
- Thick sliced brioche is recommended for a richer flavor.
Tips from Cooking with Honey's video
- Whisk the batter until smooth to ensure the flour is fully incorporated with the eggs and milk.
- Dip the bread in the batter for only 5 to 6 seconds on each side to prevent it from soaking up too much of the mixture.
- Cook the French toast on low heat (around setting 2) for about 2 minutes on each side to ensure the inside cooks well without burning the outside.
