FRENCH TOAST



French Toast image

You can use white sandwich bread, but French toast also works well with other loaves, including brioche, challah, cinnamon-raisin, whole-wheat, French, even sourdough.

Provided by Jessica Furniss

Time 20m

Yield 6 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large eggs
⅔ cup whole milk (or high-fat milk alternative)
1 teaspoon sugar
Dash of salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Dash of cinnamon (optional)
6 slices white bread (or bread of choice)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
Toppings, such as fruit, syrup, butter, or powdered sugar (optional)

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.

CLASSIC FRENCH TOAST



Classic French Toast image

Here's a recipe for the kind of French toast people line up for outside restaurants on Sunday morning. It's simple: no new ingredients, tools or technology needed. You don't even need stale bread. What you do need is thick-cut white bread, dunked into an egg-milk mixture with extra richness from egg yolks and heavy cream. That gives the French toast a buttery taste and firm but fluffy texture. (Oversoaking is the enemy here; the mixture should fill the bread, not cause it to break.) For an appetizing, lacy brown crust, sprinkle on sugar toward the end of cooking: It will caramelize and turn glossy. Just make sure to keep the heat low after you add the sugar. Otherwise, it could burn quickly over high heat.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
2 cups whole milk, or 1 3/4 cups milk, plus 2 to 4 tablespoons cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of salt
Unsalted butter, for cooking
8 slices white bread, such as Pullman, brioche or challah, sliced 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick
Cinnamon sugar or granulated sugar (see note)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees, and place a wire rack on a sheet pan inside.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, additional yolks, milk, vanilla (if using) and salt until foamy and smooth. Set aside. Place a small lump of butter (enough to coat the bottom of the skillet when melted) in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over low heat. It will melt very slowly.
  • When butter is just melted and bubbling, raise heat and bring to a sizzle. Place 2 slices of bread in the bowl with the egg mixture. Turn them a few times in the mixture until evenly saturated, about 5 seconds on each side. Do not soak.
  • Lift a slice out of the egg mixture, gently shake off any excess, and place in the pan. Repeat until the skillet is full, and let the slices cook at a sizzle for about 2 minutes, until just turning golden brown on the bottom.
  • Add another small lump of butter to the pan and flip the slices over, swirling the pan so that the fresh butter coats the bottom. (This will allow the second side to brown.)
  • Continue cooking over low heat until the second side is golden brown. Dust with cinnamon sugar, flip again, and dust the other side. Test for doneness by pressing the center: The dent should slowly spring back. If it remains, the interior is not yet cooked. Continue cooking at low heat, flipping occasionally, until done. Serve immediately, or transfer to the oven to keep warm while cooking remaining bread. Serve as soon as possible. Top with maple syrup, berries, jam, sliced bananas, orange supremes - whatever you'd like.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread works better for French toast because it absorbs the egg mixture more evenly, resulting in a crispier exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the French toast in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help the French toast cook evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet is ideal for cooking French toast because it prevents the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat: Cooking the French toast over medium heat will help it cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Flip the French toast only once: Once the French toast is golden brown on one side, flip it over and cook it until it is golden brown on the other side. Flipping the French toast too often will make it fall apart.
  • Serve the French toast immediately: French toast is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help it stay crispy.

Normaway French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast dish. With its crispy exterior and fluffy interior, it is a surefire hit with people of all ages.
