Classic French Toast Recipe

milk (see recipe notes)

sugar

salt

cinnamon (optional)

½ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)

tsp vanilla extract

bread

Butter oil

Berries

Maple syrup

Butter

Whipped cream or yogurt

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, salt, vanilla, and spices (if using). Whisk until the eggs have no “gloopy” texture. You could also place the ingredients in a jug and use an immersion blender for a few seconds to mix the eggs well.

Slice a stale loaf of brioche bread into 1 inch thick slices. If you’re using my brioche recipe, note that I can slice one loaf into 6 - 7 slices (not including the edges).

Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat (or medium high if your stove doesn&#39;t run too hot).

When the pan is hot, soak one slice of bread in the egg-milk mixture. Dip one side in the mixture and keep it immersed for about 3 - 5 seconds (depends on how stale and/or thick the slices are).

Flip over the bread slice, and immerse the other side for the same length of time.

Remove the slice from the egg mix, and allow excess egg mixture to drip back into the dish.

Place some butter and/or oil in the skillet. I like to add about 1 tbsp of butter for 2 slices of bread.

Once the butter is melted, and the pan is hot, place the bread slices in the pan. Make sure the pan isn’t over-crowded, so that the bread slices achieve proper caramelization.

Cook the bread slices for about 3 - 4 minutes on the first side. Flip over, and cook the other side for another 3 - 4 minutes, with a little more butter.

Once both sides of your French toast have caramelized and cooked properly, place the toast on a wire rack (until you have cooked all of your French toast). Repeat this process with the remaining slices of bread.

Serve the French toast warm with whipped cream, fruits, and maple syrup.
