French toast is a popular breakfast dish made from slices of bread soaked in a mixture of beaten eggs, milk, and seasonings like cinnamon and vanilla, then pan-fried until golden brown.
It's often served with toppings like maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fruit, and is known by other names like "eggy bread".
Using slightly stale, thick bread like brioche or challah works best as it holds up well to the custard soak. 🛁
Basic recipe
Custard: Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a shallow dish.
Bread: Use thick slices of bread (brioche, challah, or a firm white bread are good choices).
Soak: Dip each slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides for a few seconds.
Don't over-soak: A quick dip is enough to coat the bread; don't let it sit too long.
Cook: Pan-fry in a buttered skillet over medium heat for a couple of minutes per side, until golden brown.
Serve: Top with your favorite additions like maple 🍁 syrup, powdered sugar, or berries.
Tips for perfect French toast
Control the heat: Medium heat is ideal to cook the inside without burning the outside. Lower the heat if the butter starts to brown too quickly.
Use butter: Butter adds flavor and helps create a golden, caramelized crust. 🧈
