I just have one word to describe this French toast: Oh my. And okay, that was two words.

Categories     breakfast     dessert     main dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 whole Eggs
1/4 c. Half-and-half
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/3 c. Sugar
4 slices Whole Wheat Bread (or Any Bread)
1 c. Panko Breadcrumbs
1 stick Salted Butter, Melted
Softened Butter And Maple (or Pancake) Syrup, For Serving

Steps:

  • In a pie pan, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, half the sugar, and half the cinnamon. Set aside.In a separate pie pan, stir together the panko breadcrumbs with the rest of the sugar and cinnamon. Use a fork to stir in 2 tablespoons of the butter so that the crumbs are slightly moist. Set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the rest of the melted butter over medium-low heat. One by one, dunk the bread in the egg mixture (turning to coat), then lay them in the dish with the panko crumbs, turning them over and pressing them gently so that they stick and totally cover the surface.Place them into the skillet with the butter and let them cook on the first side for 5 to 6 minutes, watching closely to make sure the crumbs don't burn. (If they start to darken too fast, turn the heat slightly lower and watch.) Turn them over and let them cook for 3 minutes on the other side.Transfer the pieces to individual plates and serve with butter and syrup. Delicious!

Tips:

  • Use thick-sliced bread: This will help the French toast hold up better during cooking and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Eggs and milk: Use a mixture of eggs and milk for the custard base, as this will give the French toast a richer flavor and texture. You can also add a little bit of sugar and vanilla extract for extra sweetness and flavor.
  • Soak the bread: Make sure to soak the bread in the custard mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the bread to absorb the custard and become more flavorful.
  • Cook over medium heat: Cook the French toast over medium heat so that it has time to cook through without burning.
  • Flip the French toast only once: Flipping the French toast too often can cause it to break apart. Just flip it once, when the bottom is golden brown.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: French toast can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

French toast is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With the right ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and memorable French toast that everyone will enjoy.
