French toast. Yummy, warm slices of goodness just waiting to be drenched in maple syrup. This meal is a childhood favorite and I love how it instantly brings back memories of delicious childhood breakfasts. This recipe for French toast will result in moist perfectly gooey custard-like slices of bread. It is traditionally made with "day old" bread. But I used fresh bread and it provided a moist smooth texture that I think is preferable. Serve with your favorite fruits, honey or classic maple syrup for a delicious combination!
French Toast
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings of 2 slices each
Source: Adapted from Brown Eyed Baker's French Toast Recipe
Ingredients:
8 slices white sandwich bread sliced about ½" thick ( I used fresh store-bought white sandwich bread, but feel free to use day old. )
1½ cups whole milk
3 large eggs
4 tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
oil or butter for greasing pan
Step 1 1½ cups whole milk
3 large eggs
4 tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
oil or butter for greasing pan
Whisk milk, eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla in large bowl until well blended.
Working with 1 slice of bread at a time, dip into custard for 10 seconds on each side. (Bread should be saturated but not falling apart.) Transfer soaked bread onto a separate plate and continue until all bread is soaked.
Step 2
Heat a non stick skillet between medium and medium high heat. Grease the pan with a paper towel and oil or butter. [Note: Always keep vigilant watch over the temperature. It may need to be adjusted from time to time to avoid burning or scorching your bread] Use a slotted spatula to transfer 1-2 slices soaked bread to skillet (depending on how big your skillet is) cook on both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Wipe skillet with paper towel moistened with oil or butter between each new addition of slices. Repeat cooking remaining bread,1- 2 pieces at a time. Transfer to serving plate when finished with all slices.
Enjoy!
