3. Equipment Needed

Preparing the Egg Mixture:

In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat well.

Pour in the milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

Whisk until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.

Pick your weapon, and prepare the bread

Bread: Choose thick sliced bread. Each and every one of these breads will soak up the custard quite nicely because they all have the rich texture that we are looking for in French toast.

Yield: Slice the bread loaf into 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick slices. Preferably use slightly stale French bread for better absorption of custard and flavor in your French Toast.

Cooking the French Toast:

Then preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat, and throw down a pat of butter (or splash of oil).

Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture, enough to coat and not be super soggy.

Add the bread slices to coat and allow them to soak up all of that yummy mix, then transfer each piece one at a time on top of the hot skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and super crispy. Do not crowd the pan, to enable uniform cooking.

5. Serving Suggestions

Classic Toppings:

Pure Maple Syrup: For an all-American original!

Icing Sugar: Dust with icing sugar for a little extra sweetness.

Fresh Berries: Finish with fresh strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for a fruity and refreshing version.

Creative Variations:

Fruit compote — top your waffles with a spoonful of homemade fruit compote for a chef's touch.

Almond/peanut butter — Spread it with almond or peanut nut butter for a bit of added richness.

Whipped Cream- So, give some flavors of whipped cream to your shake and add a dollopadvertisement更多 (例句)

6. Tips for Success

Avoiding Common Pitfalls

It is important to not oversoak the bread, otherwise, you will end up with soggy French toast. A fast dip in the egg mix is more than enough.

Poorly Cooked: Keep it at even heat and do not overload the skillet for an equal cook.

HOW TO GET THAT PERFECT TEXTURE:

Day-Old Bread – Breads that are slightly stale will better keep their shape than breads directly out of the loaf.

Hotter Pan – The pan must be hot enough to ensure the bread is crisp and outside.
