QUICK AND EASY FRENCH TOAST
Wake up to an irresistibly delicious breakfast that's super quick and easy to whip up using a few basic ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. This French toast recipe soaks thick slices of bread in a mixture of milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and an egg before tossing each slice in a frying pan. Fluffy and tender on the inside and perfectly golden-brown on the outside, making French toast is one of our favorite - and most indulgent! - breakfast dishes. You can use any bread you have left over from the week to make this breakfast treat, but we especially love the density of sourdough, challah and brioche French toast. Drizzle with maple syrup and customize with different toppings like strawberries, blueberries, and honey butter for a scrumptious breakfast that's perfect for Easter brunch. For a warm and comforting French toast variation, check out our cinnamon French toast recipe.

Steps:
- In medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, honey, and salt. You may do this the night before. When ready to cook, pour custard mixture into a pie pan and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Dip bread into mixture, allow to soak for 30 seconds on each side, and then remove to a cooling rack that is sitting in a sheet pan, and allow to sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch nonstick saute pan. Place 2 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and place on rack in oven for 5 minutes. Repeat with all 8 slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.
CLASSIC FRENCH TOAST
Here's a recipe for the kind of French toast people line up for outside restaurants on Sunday morning. It's simple: no new ingredients, tools or technology needed. You don't even need stale bread. What you do need is thick-cut white bread, dunked into an egg-milk mixture with extra richness from egg yolks and heavy cream. That gives the French toast a buttery taste and firm but fluffy texture. (Oversoaking is the enemy here; the mixture should fill the bread, not cause it to break.) For an appetizing, lacy brown crust, sprinkle on sugar toward the end of cooking: It will caramelize and turn glossy. Just make sure to keep the heat low after you add the sugar. Otherwise, it could burn quickly over high heat.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200 degrees, and place a wire rack on a sheet pan inside.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, additional yolks, milk, vanilla (if using) and salt until foamy and smooth. Set aside. Place a small lump of butter (enough to coat the bottom of the skillet when melted) in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over low heat. It will melt very slowly.
- When butter is just melted and bubbling, raise heat and bring to a sizzle. Place 2 slices of bread in the bowl with the egg mixture. Turn them a few times in the mixture until evenly saturated, about 5 seconds on each side. Do not soak.
- Lift a slice out of the egg mixture, gently shake off any excess, and place in the pan. Repeat until the skillet is full, and let the slices cook at a sizzle for about 2 minutes, until just turning golden brown on the bottom.
- Add another small lump of butter to the pan and flip the slices over, swirling the pan so that the fresh butter coats the bottom. (This will allow the second side to brown.)
- Continue cooking over low heat until the second side is golden brown. Dust with cinnamon sugar, flip again, and dust the other side. Test for doneness by pressing the center: The dent should slowly spring back. If it remains, the interior is not yet cooked. Continue cooking at low heat, flipping occasionally, until done. Serve immediately, or transfer to the oven to keep warm while cooking remaining bread. Serve as soon as possible. Top with maple syrup, berries, jam, sliced bananas, orange supremes - whatever you'd like.

- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, heavy cream, milk, and vanilla until combined. Pour into a shallow bowl that's big enough to dip a piece of bread into.
- Soak the bread slices in the mixture for 20-30 seconds on each side (if it gets too mushy and break, soak it for only a few seconds). Meanwhile, over medium-low heat, melt some of the butter in a skillet pan (swirl it around so it coats the pan bottom evenly) and sprinkle some of the sugar, if using. The sugar will turn into caramel so work quickly so it won’t burn.
- As soon as the sugar is added, place however many slices of bread that fit into the pan. Cook until golden brown, 1-3 minutes on each side (the first side usually takes longer). Clean the pan carefully (it’s hot!) with a kitchen paper towel so there’s no sugar left, and repeat the process; melt butter, sprinkle sugar, if using, and cook the bread slices.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings: butter, maple syrup, jam, sour cream, powdered sugar, fruit.
HOW TO MAKE FRENCH TOAST PERFECTLY - FOOD NETWORK
From foodnetwork.com
Author Food Network KitchenPublished Oct 3, 2015
- Choose Your Bread and Slice it Thickly. For particularly fluffy, custardy French toast, select bread like brioche or challah. For something with a little more structure, go for a country-style bread.
- Make the Batter. Our recipe for The Best French Toast includes a fantastic ingredient ratio: 10 large eggs, 2 cups of half-and-half and 1/4 cup of light brown sugar to soak one whole loaf of bread.
- Soak the Toast In the Batter. Add several slices of bread to the egg mixture and soak them until they just absorb the mixture and feel heavy but don’t fall apart — 30 seconds to one minute per side should do it.
- Cook the French Toast in Batches. While you soak the bread, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook two of the soaked bread slices until they’re deep golden brown, the custard has set and the insides are cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes a side.
- Get Creative With Your Toppings. Although maple syrup, butter and powdered sugar are classic ways to finish off your French toast (and there’s nothing wrong with going classic), you can also top your creation with sliced fresh fruit.
