Tips to Make a Perfect French Toast

Nobody likes their French toast to be mushy and burned on the outside. For the best French toast recipe, you should consider these point in your mind:

The Bread – Select stale bread slices that are thicker and have no holes in the crumb. Try toasting the fresh bread for a few minutes in the oven to dry it out.

The Batter – Ensure that the batter is thoroughly mixed. Whisk the batter until it stays together when it passes through a fork’s tines.

The Soak – Thinly cut or fresh bread just requires a quick dip in the batter. You may let thicker, more robust slices sit in the batter for a minute. Let thick pieces of stale bread absorb the batter and come back to life for a few minutes.

The Fry – Make sure to use a heavy base pan, oil & butter. This prevents the butter from burning. Also use only medium-low heat, to avoid the exterior from burning before interior cooks.

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2/3 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• Pinch nutmeg
• 8 thick slices slightly stale Italian bread ¾ inch
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or neutral oil
• Maple syrup, butter, fruit, and confectioners’ sugar for serving

French Toast Recipe

Divide each slice of bread into three or four pieces, according on the bread’s dimensions. Cook the French toast sticks in butter, rotating them so they cook on both sides, after soaking them in the egg mixture for only 30 seconds to prevent them from falling apart.

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon together. At this point, add any more flavors or spices. For an added touch, you may even add a pinch of allspice or ground cardamom. Pour the egg mixture into a cake pan or a large shallow basin after thoroughly whisking it.

Step 2

After dipping each piece of bread into the egg mixture, let it soak for one minute.

Step 3

In our last step of French toast recipe melt butter in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Before placing the bread in the skillet, remove it from the egg mixture and allow any extra egg to fall off. Fry for two minutes, or until the French toast is browned on one side. After approximately two minutes, flip and brown the other side. Continue with the leftover bread.

Serve heated French toast with berries or other fresh fruit, butter, and/or maple syrup. If desired, dust with confectioners’ sugar.
