Best 3 Hearty Homestyle French Toast Recipes

FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, and salt (as well as the optional vanilla extract and cinnamon, if using) in a medium shallow bowl until the mixture is fluffy and light in color.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working with one bread slice at a time, soak the bread in the egg mixture for 3 to 4 seconds per side. Don't let the slices sit too long; they will turn soggy and fall apart.
• Once butter is melted and bubbling, add 3 soaked bread slices to hot pan and cook until golden brown, or about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. (There may be some spots that do not brown; that's normal.)
• Flip each slice, and cook until gold brown, or about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining butter and egg-soaked bread. Serve hot with toppings of choice.

HOW TO MAKE CLASSIC FRENCH TOAST RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat a nonstick electric griddle to 300°F (150°C). (Alternatively, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.)
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Add the milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla bean paste and whisk until completely combined.
• Working in batches, dip each slice of challah in the custard, letting soak for 20-60 seconds on each side, until fully saturated but not soggy.
• Lightly grease the griddle with butter. Once melted, add the soaked challah on the griddle and cook, without disturbing, until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Use a flat spatula to flip the bread and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown, 2 minutes more. Wipe the pan clean between batches and add more butter as needed.
• Serve the French toast with a pat of butter, a drizzle of warm maple syrup, a sprinkle of flaky salt, and berries.
• Enjoy!

HEARTY HOMESTYLE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Beat the eggs in a bowl large enough to hold everything -- preferably one with a pouring spout.
• Beat in the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar.
• Heat a griddle and butter lightly.
• Pour some of the mix into a wide, shallow dish that will hold a slice of bread.
• Dip both sides of a slice of bread into the mix and lay it on the griddle. Fill the griddle.
• Cook slices until nicely browned, flip and brown the other side.
• Repeat with the rest of the bread. Be sure to beat the mix a few strokes before each refilling of the shallow dish. Add extra cinnamon if too much gets stuck to the early slices.
• Serve with a choice of your favorite toppings.
