Easy, Indulgent French Toast
Servings: 4 slices
Ingredients
- 4-5 slices bread (fresh or old/slightly dried out)
- 2 eggs
- 250 ml milk (cow or plant based)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 piece butter, walnut sized
- 2 tbsp oil
- To garnish: maple syrup, powder sugar, fresh fruit
Instructions
- Slice your old or fresh bread in thick slices, about 1.5-2 cm thick.
- In a flat bowl (high enough to hold the mixture, flat enough to dip the bread), crack the eggs, add milk, sugar and cinnamon and mix well until fully combined.
- Dip one slice at a time in the mixture from both sides. The older/dryer your bread, the more you need to soak it.If you want your French toast crispy on the outside, and creamy on the inside, a 10ish second soak per side is good to ensure the liquid was able to fully get inside the bread. If you prefer more bready texture, try a bit shorter.
- Heat a skillet to medium heat and add butter and oil to the pan. When well heated up, add 1-2 French toasts at a time and fry on both sides until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. You may need to reduce the heat over time as the skillet heats up more to avoid burning your French toasts!
- Garnish with maple syrup, powdered sugar and fresh fruit
