French Toast from Alton Brown image

Alton Brown had a great episode on toast, and part of it featured French Toast*. This is our favorite french toast! For a healthier alternative, replace some of the butter with olive oil. You could also use whole milk in place of the half-and-half, though Alton would not approve. *http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/french-toast-recipe/index.html

Time 34m

Yield 8 slices, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup half-and-half
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons honey, warmed in microwave for 20 seconds
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 slices bread (1/2 inch, day-old country loaf, brioche or challah)
4 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, honey, and salt. You may do this the night before. When ready to cook, pour custard mixture into a pie pan and set aside.

  • Dip bread into mixture, allow to soak for 30 seconds on each side, and then remove to a cooling rack that is sitting in a sheet pan, and allow to sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch nonstick saute pan.
  • Place 2 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove from pan and place in oven on rack for 5 minutes.
  • Repeat with all 8 slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.

I'm not a big fan of French toast, but this recipe changed my mind. It's the perfect combination of crispy and fluffy, and the custard is rich and flavorful.

This recipe is a little sweet for my taste, so I cut back on the sugar in the custard. It turned out perfect.

I used sourdough bread for this recipe, and it turned out great. The sourdough gave the French toast a slightly tangy flavor that I really enjoyed.

This recipe is a little time-consuming, but it's worth it. The French toast is so much better than anything you can get at a restaurant.

I added a few drops of vanilla extract to the custard, and it gave the French toast a really nice flavor. I also served it with a dollop of Nutella, which was the perfect finishing touch.

I was a little skeptical about using day-old bread, but it worked out perfectly. The French toast was still light and fluffy, and it soaked up the custard really well.

I'm not a huge fan of French toast, but this recipe changed my mind. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the custard was rich and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
