Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your preferred type)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (you can use any kind: whole, skim, almond, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Butter or oil for frying
- Maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruits, or any other desired toppings
Instructions:
Mix the eggs, milk, vanilla extract (if using), and ground cinnamon (if using) in a small dish or bowl using a whisk until everything is well mixed. This is the egg mix you will use.
Set a pan or pot over medium-low heat. Cover the bottom of the pan with a little butter or oil.
Spread out the bread slices and dip each one into the egg mixture. Let each side soak for a short time. Make sure the mixture covers the bread evenly, but doesn’t make it too soft.
Spread the bread slices out on a skillet or cooking pan that has already been hot. Each side should cook for two to three minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
After the French toast is done, put the slices on plates to serve.
Serve hot with any toppings you like, like powdered sugar, fresh fruit, whipped cream, maple syrup, or anything else you can think of.
Enjoy your tasty French toast that you made yourself!
FAQs:
1. How do I prevent my French toast from becoming soggy? To prevent soggy French toast, make sure not to soak the bread slices in the egg mixture for too long. A quick dip on each side is sufficient. Additionally, using slightly stale bread can help absorb the egg mixture without becoming overly soggy.
2. Can I make French toast ahead of time? Yes, you can! To make French toast ahead of time, cook the slices as usual and allow them to cool completely. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, simply reheat the slices in a toaster or skillet until warm and crispy.
