Easy French Toast
Believe it or not I had never had French Toast up until about two weeks ago. I never even knew what it was!
I found this recipe online HERE and never realised how simple and yummy it is.
This is originally from "The Joy of Cooking" by Irma Rombauer
Yields 8 slices (which feeds 2 people)
Ingredients
2/3 cup milk or half-and-half
4 eggs
2 Tablespoons sugar or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla or 1 Tablespoon rum (I used vanilla)
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 slices white sandwich bread - (it suggests gourmeting it up with fancy bread if you wish)
Butter as needed
Ok, get ready this is complicated:
(1) Whisk everything together, except the bread and butter, in a shallow pan - make sure to whisk good, though, you want all the eggs broken up;
(2) Heat a frying pan on medium/high heat, add 1 Tbs of butter, and as it foams up take a piece of bread, dip it on one side in the mixture, dip it on the other side, wipe off the excess egg, and drop it in the pan; take one more piece of bread and do the same and then let that bread fry - leaving it alone for 30 seconds or so, adjusting the heat so it doesn't cook too fast.
Use a spatula, eventually, and take a peak - if it's golden brown and crusty where it's cooking, it's time to flip it over. Cook it on the other side and then put it on a plate. I had the oven at 200 and put the plate with the finished French toast in the oven so I could fry up everything and have it all hot at the same time.
(3) Sift sugar over the top and serve with maple syrup. Or why not mixed berries. Or nutella, or anything you want.
How easy is that - I think I have found an alternative to bacon and eggs or pancakes. If you want ot be health conscience use wholemeal bread
