French Toast
Delicious French Toast made with brioche or white bread, eggs, and a hint of cinnamon, perfect for breakfast.
Equipment
- non-stick skillet
Ingredients
- 6 slices brioche or white sandwich bread slightly stale
- 30-40 g butter
- 2 large eggs (~60g / 2 oz each)
- ½ cup milk 125 ml
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 g strawberries halved, optional
- 1 tablespoon white sugar for macerating strawberries
- Maple syrup for serving
- butter for serving
Instructions
- Whisk together Egg Mixture in a bowl. Vigorous whisk = avoid cinnamon floating on top.
- Melt 15g / 1 tablespoon butter in a non stick skillet over medium heat.
- Dunk a piece of bread quickly into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Place in pan. Repeat with more slices to fill the pan, but don’t crowd it (do 2 or 3 at a time).
- Cook for 2 ½ – 3 minutes on each side until the surface is golden, then transfer to serving plates.
- Add more butter into the pan and cook remaining bread.
- Serve with butter and plenty of maple syrup, and Macerated Strawberries if using!
- Toss strawberries with sugar, set aside for 20 minutes+. The strawberries will soften and sweat, and create a bit of syrup.
Notes
Best bread for French Toast: Brioche is hands down the most indulgent. Slightly stale bread is better as fresh bread tends to soak up the mixture too quickly, causing the French Toast to be soggy inside.
