Best French Toast Ever? A Step-by-Step Guide!
There’s something undeniably comforting about a stack of fluffy French toast, especially when it’s drenched in maple syrup and butter. This recipe promises to deliver the best French toast you’ve ever tasted. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 8 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or challah work well)
- Butter, for greasing the pan
- Maple syrup, for serving
- Toppings of your choice (e.g., sliced almonds, fresh berries, powdered sugar)
Instructions:
- Prepare the batter: In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Soak the bread: Dip each slice of bread into the batter, making sure it’s evenly coated. Let the bread soak for a few minutes to absorb the batter.
- Cook the French toast: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease the pan with butter.
- Cook one side: Place a soaked bread slice in the hot pan. Cook until golden brown on one side, then carefully flip and cook until golden brown on the other side. Repeat with the remaining bread slices.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate. Top with butter, maple syrup, and your desired toppings. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Bread choice: For a richer, more indulgent French toast, use brioche or challah bread.
- Batter consistency: If the batter seems too thick, add a little more milk or heavy cream.
- Cooking time: Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your bread.
- Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Try sliced almonds, fresh berries, powdered sugar, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
