How to Make the Perfect French Toast
Say goodbye to thin and soggy French toast! By following these three steps, you’ll enjoy the best French of toast of your life.
- Use sourdough bread instead of regular sandwich bread or Texas toast. Thanks to the dense and dry texture of sourdough, you’ll find a bread that can stand up to the egg mixture without absorbing it!
- Use more eggs. Resist the urge to thin down your egg mixture with water or milk. A thicker egg mixture that hasn’t been overthinned will form a perfect toasty crust.
- A quick dunk in the egg mixture is all you need. No prolonged immersion necessary!
Let’s Get Going
Ingredients:
- Sourdough bread: 2-4 slices per person
- Eggs: 1 egg per slice of bread, plus 2 to the total (for 4 slices of bread, use 6 eggs, for 6 slices of bread, use 8, etc.)
- ½ cup half and half
- ½ tsp vanilla (optional)
- Syrup
- Butter
- Additional toppings (optional): chopped pecans, sliced bananas, baked apples, etc.
Tools you’ll need:
- Medium bowl
- Whisk
- Tongs or fork
- Spatula
- Griddle or frying pan
- Nonstick spray
Directions:
- Heat your cooking surface to medium high and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Crack the eggs into the bowl and add the half & half and vanilla (if using). Whisk thoroughly.
- Quickly dunk the bread slices into the egg mixture one at a time, removing with tongs or fork, and placing it immediately onto the griddle or frying pan.
- Cook until the French toast is beautifully golden and crispy on both sides.
- Serve with butter, syrup, and any additional toppings you might like.
