Best French Toast Recipe

eggs

milk, half and half, coconut milk, or almond milk

salt

granulated sugar, honey

vanilla extract

cinnamon

sandwich bread

butter

Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a flat-bottomed pie plate or baking dish. Place bread slices, one or two at a time, into the egg mixture and flip to make sure both sides of bread are well-coated.

Melt butter in a large skillet or on a griddle. Place bread slices in skillet or on griddle and cook on medium heat until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes.

Serve immediately or keep warm in oven until ready to serve, but no longer than about 30 minutes.

Perfect French Toast

sugar

nutmeg

milk

butter,

maple syrup

Slice a small sliver off each end of the bread then cut the loaf in half. Cut each half in half, then each piece in half to yield eight slices, about one inch thick.

Place a rack over a sheet tray and lay out the slices and let sit overnight uncovered to dry out the bread.

In a medium bowl, vigorously beat eggs then whisk in sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and milk.  Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight.

When ready to serve, whisk once more then pour the egg mixture into a casserole dish. We used a 9X13 so we could dip four at a time.

Place four slices into the egg mixture and time 90 seconds. Flip and time 90 seconds more. Remove to a clean tray. Repeat for last four pieces of bread.

Heat one large or two medium griddle pans over medium heat and melt two tablespoons of butter per pan, or all four if using one large griddle.

Once the butter is frothy and starting to brown slightly, place all of the soaked bread onto the melted butter and time 90 seconds. Flip and cook 90 seconds more.

Remove to a serving platter and serve with softened butter and heated maple syrup. Serve two slices per person.

This is very good, but I used Hawaiian Round Loaf bread!  Delish!

This recipe makes the most delicious and perfect French Toast!

French Toast

bread (thick sliced if possible)

Tablespoons vanilla extract

orange juice (fresh squeezed is best)

lemon ((about 1 Tablespoon))

cognac (or Grand Marnier (or other liqueur) (optional))

Dry bread by laying on a wire rack overnight* or bake at 200˚F for about 15 minutes (then cool completely).

In a large measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, juice, sugar, zest, cinnamon, salt, and cognac if using.

Place bread in a single layer in a baking tray with sides. Pour egg mixture on bread. Flip slices a number of times, until bread is coated and soaked, about 15-20 minutes. There may be a small amount of egg mixture remaining in the pan, but most will have soaked into the bread.

***Preheat oven to 200˚F. Place a wire rack on a baking tray and set aside.

Over medium heat in a skillet, or on a griddle, heat equal parts butter and oil (about 1 Tablespoon of each for a skillet, and 2 Tablespoons of each on a skillet). Fry bread slices 3-4 minutes per side or until golden. Serve immediately or transfer to wire rack on the baking tray and place in oven to keep warm.
