MARTHA'S PERFECT FRENCH TOAST



Martha's Perfect French Toast image

From Martha Stewart. That woman sure knows how to make a delicious french toast! I have changed her recipe to omit some unneeded calories and fat. It is the best french toast our family has ever had, and our guests all agreed! I make this on a Sunday morning if we still have extra challah left over.

My mother's neighbor used to make this for special events. It is incredibly tasty and very easy. It looks pretty sprinkled with a little powdered sugar! This needs to sit overnight and cook time does not reflect this.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread that is at least 1 day old. This will help the bread to soak up the custard and not become soggy.
  • Make sure the custard is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it is too thin, add more eggs or milk.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help it to cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.
