FRENCH TOAST I

Steps:

• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
• Dunk each slice of bread in egg mixture, soaking both sides. Place in pan, and cook on both sides until golden. Serve hot.

THE BEST FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F.
• Cut the bread into 8 slices about 3/4-inch thick. Arrange them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet (it's ok if they overlap). Bake, flipping them halfway through, until very lightly golden on both sides, about 12 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheet until ready to use. Reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees F.
• Vigorously whisk the eggs in a large bowl until blended and no streaks of whites remain. Add the half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg and whisk until completely incorporated. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish.
• Gently press 2 slices of the toasted bread into the custard. Turn to coat and then gently press down on the bread until you feel it start to soak up the custard-this is key for a luscious, moist texture. Let the bread soak for about 1 minute per side; it should feel heavy but still hold its shape and not fall apart.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook 2 of the soaked bread slices until they are a deep golden brown, the custard has set and the insides are cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. The center of the bread will puff slightly while the crust will contract, making it look puckered. You may have to alternate between medium and medium-low heat if the bread browns too quickly or not fast enough. Transfer the slices to a rimmed baking sheet and hold in the warm oven. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread.
• Serve the French toast with butter, maple syrup and a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar.

FRENCH BREAD FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• 1. Mix together well: eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. You can add as little or as much cinnamon to the mixture to your liking. (if you're wanting to make a bigger batch and use the entire loaf, you will more than likely end up making more of this)
• 2. Pour into a cake pan. Slice your french bread into 2" slices. I did mine about an inch in this picture because I ended up having more company over than I expected so had to make sure I had enough for everyone.
• 3. Lay your bread into the egg mixture and allow the french bread to completely soak up the mixture, flipping over once, then sprinkle cinnamon atop. They will be heavy so you have to pick them up carefully so as not to rip them apart. Make sure they are completely saturated.
• 4. Spray your frying pan with Pam and allow it to heat up, placing your bread pieces in afterwards. Cook on each side approximately 2 or 3 minutes pending how high you have your flame, just enough to make the outside nice and toasty and enough time to allow the mixture to cook up on the inside.
• 5. Drop onto a place and pretty it up! I used spray butter and drizzled a line over them then added warm butter pecan syrup. Wait till you sink your teeth into them, so moist, tasty, and will leave you wanting more!
