The Sweet Harmony of French Toast- 2 slices thick-cut bread (a thicker cut yields a better result)
- 4 fresh eggs
- 200ml unsweetened soy milk (or regular milk)
- 2 pats of butter (for frying)
- Maple syrup (generous amount, to taste)
- Fresh blueberries (for garnish)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Fresh dill (for garnish, optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start with the star of our dish: fluffy bread! Choosing thick-cut slices will give you the best texture and allow them to soak up the custard beautifully.
Step 2
For optimal results, use a thick-cut bread, about half a loaf’s thickness if possible. This ensures the bread absorbs the custard nicely, leading to a wonderfully soft interior. If using standard sandwich bread, you can stack two slices together.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, crack 4 fresh eggs. Pour in 200ml of unsweetened soy milk. (You can substitute regular milk if you prefer.)
Step 4
Using a whisk, gently beat the eggs and soy milk together until well combined and smooth. Ensure there are no streaks of egg white or yolk left; a smooth custard is key.
Step 5
Carefully place the bread slices into the egg mixture, letting them soak for about 5 minutes on each side. Don’t rush this step; allowing the bread to fully absorb the custard is crucial for a tender, custardy interior.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 pats of butter and let it melt, coating the bottom of the pan. Be mindful not to let the butter burn.
Step 7
Gently lift the egg-soaked bread slices from the custard and place them into the heated skillet.
Step 8
Cook for a few minutes until the bottom is golden brown and slightly crispy. Then, carefully flip the toast and cook the other side until it’s equally golden and beautiful. You’re aiming for a lovely contrast between a crisp exterior and a soft, custardy inside.
Step 9
Transfer the perfectly golden French toast to a warm plate. Generously drizzle with maple syrup according to your preference. Letting it sit for a moment allows the syrup to soak into the warm toast.
Step 10
Arrange fresh blueberries on top of the French toast for a burst of color and a touch of tartness.
Step 11
For a final, elegant touch, dust generously with powdered sugar. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a subtle sweetness that complements the other flavors beautifully.
Step 12
As an optional garnish, a sprig of fresh dill can add a sophisticated aromatic note and a pop of green color.
Step 13
Everything is ready! Time to prepare for a delightful meal. Perhaps with a warm cup of coffee or tea?
Step 14
And there you have it – a wonderfully fluffy and tender French toast! Enjoy this incredibly simple recipe for a delicious and satisfying breakfast or brunch anytime.
