Complete a gorgeous home brunch with leftover bread from your fridge! Introducing a recipe for ‘French Toast,’ baked golden brown in a butter-warmed pan, featuring the soft harmony of milk and eggs. It’s perfect as a breakfast alternative or a delightful snack for kids!
Main Ingredients- 2 slices of bread (thicker slices work best!)
- 2 fresh eggs
- 50ml milk for a smooth texture
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter for rich flavor
- A little honey for sweetness (to taste)
- A little powdered sugar for a visually appealing finish (finely sifted)
Basic Seasoning- 1 tsp sugar for a touch of sweetness
- 1/2 tsp salt for balanced flavor
- 1 tsp sugar for a touch of sweetness
- 1/2 tsp salt for balanced flavor
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Crack 2 fresh eggs into a wide bowl. Prepare to gently whisk the yolks and whites.
Step 2
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar to impart a subtle sweetness. Using measuring spoons ensures accurate flavor.
Step 3
Carefully pour in 50ml of milk for a tender texture. The amount of milk can be adjusted to your preference.
Step 4
Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to balance the flavors, and whisk thoroughly with a fork or whisk until all ingredients are smoothly combined without any lumps. You’ll have a smooth egg mixture.
Step 5
Cut the bread slices you’ll be using for French toast into halves or quarters, as you prefer. Using thick bread will result in a moist interior.
Step 6
Dip the cut bread pieces into the prepared egg mixture, soaking both sides thoroughly. Let them sit in the egg mixture for at least 10 seconds to absorb plenty of liquid for an even softer result.
Step 7
Heat a pan over medium-low heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter to add rich flavor. Be mindful of the heat to prevent the butter from burning.
Step 8
Place the egg-dipped bread slices onto the pan and cook until golden brown and beautifully colored on both sides. Cooking slowly over low heat ensures the inside becomes moist while the outside turns crispy. (About 2-3 minutes per side)
Step 9
Once the French toast is perfectly cooked, lightly dust the top with powdered sugar using a sieve for a visually appealing finish. Instead of serving it plain, pair it with a fresh salad and seasonal fruits for a more complete brunch experience.
Step 10
Dipping in honey enhances the sweetness, but feel free to get creative! Serve with your favorite toppings like strawberry jam, apricot jam, maple syrup, or condensed milk to create your unique French toast.
Step 11
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside! Enjoy a special home brunch moment on any day with these simple yet exquisite French toasts. The whole family will love this taste.
Step 12
If you have any leftover egg mixture after soaking the bread, consider making scrambled eggs with a little butter to serve alongside for an even more satisfying and complete meal. Make sure to use up every last drop!
