French Toast
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and, if desired, ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
- 2
Arrange the slices of sandwich bread on a cutting board. if they have a thick crust, trim the edges so they absorb better and cook evenly.
Cooking
- 3
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and melt a knob of butter so the bottom is lightly coated.
- 4
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture on both sides for about 5-10 seconds, let it drain briefly, and place it in the pan.
TIP:Dip the slices quickly for 5-10 seconds on both sides and immediately place them on the pan. Briefly dab away any excess liquid to prevent sogginess and ensure even browning.
- 5
Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Add a little more butter between batches if needed.
- 6
Transfer the cooked toasts to a plate or a rack and keep them warm briefly while you finish the rest.
Serving
- 7
Serve immediately, ideally halved into triangles, sprinkled with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup.
- 8
Add fresh fruit to taste and serve warm. at that moment the toasts are tender inside and crispy on the outside.
More tips:
For best results, use day-old sandwich bread. fresh bread soaks up too much and can become soggy.
Don't leave the slices in the mixture for too long, so the center doesn't stay wet. a short soak and even cooking over medium heat is enough.
