French toast is a classic for brunch and it's one of the easiest recipes

 

French toast is a classic for brunch and

it's one of the easiest recipes to make

serve it simple with maple syrup or go

more adventurous with banana berries and

bacon

 the basic recipe for French toast

has always been the same it doesn't

change it's so simple just three

ingredients bread eggs and milk

although saying that there are a few

things you can do differently depending

on your tastes first, 

we're going to get

started on making the icky mixture that

the bread is going to get dipped in in a

medium-sized bowl crack in three

free-range eggs this mixture will be

enough to make about six to eight slices

so enough to serve about three to four

people depending on how hungry you are

use the whisk to thoroughly beat the

eggs together until there is no longer

any separation between the yolks and

white if you would like the full recipe

for this french toast, it will be on my

website as well as the full measurements

listed in the description box below make

check out my other Sunday brunch recipes

so as I said before the essential recipe for

French toast doesn't change but

there are a few things you can do

differently, the first thing which type

of milk, you use I will usually use

regular dairy milk but you can use a

low-fat milk a dairy alternative

half-and-half or cream using your

low-fat milk will make it a little more

on the healthier side whereas using

cream would make it richer and so much

more indulgent which works great as a

treat you need one cup so use whichever

the type you would like or whatever you have

on hand use the whisk to combine the milk

and eggs together until well combined

this part is optional depending on how

sweet you like things but you can add a

few teaspoons of sugar

I usually don't I find maple syrup on

top sweet enough but feel free to add

some of you would prefer

now on to the last ingredient bread

choose whichever kind you would like

anything from standard sandwich white

bread to Sado just whichever kind you

have on hand I'll usually use leftover

the bread which you protect that maybe but

there is one thing that is incredibly

important

make sure it's old french toast was used

years and years ago as a way to revive

lost bread old stale bread

soaking it in milk and eggs adds back

that moisture that's been lost if you do

use fresh bread it tends not to soak up

as much of the eggy mixture and no

matter what proportion you cook it boy it still

tends to be soggy and Cide due to too

much moisture content in the bread

although I do have one tip for you if

your bread as fresh-cut it up into

slices the night before and leave it

sitting out and because it has so much

contact with the ear it should be a

little stale by morning to make the

dipping of the bread so much easier

pour the iki mixture into a low cider

dish heat a heavy-based frying pan over

medium heat you can use any type you

would prefer but I always like to use

cast iron as it holds the heat amazingly

and also create a perfect crust on the

french toast takes two slices by of

stale bread and place it into the Iggy

the mixture after about 10 seconds turn the

slices over and leave them for another

10 seconds if he hits the kiss ices you

need to leave them for about 15 or 20

seconds so they have a chance to soak up

more place about half a teaspoon worth

of butter into your pan drain the bread

so it no longer drips and places it into

the pan follow with the next piece

you'll need your heat over medium or

medium-low any higher and you'll burn

your toast

the fringe toaster is one of my favorites

brunch recipes and it's a perfect way to

use up old bread that you might

otherwise, throw in the bin let me know

in the comments below what your favorite

meal for brunch is I have quite a few

brunch recipes on my channel if you ever

do need any inspiration after about five

minutes on one side flip this host over

to the other and leave for another five

minutes to cook if you do have thicker

sizes they'll need longer a good way to

test if your french toast is cooked is

pre-Sanders in turf if it bounces back

it means it's cooked through if it

wasn't and was still soggy the breed

would just step were you pressed remove

the toasts from the pan and repeat with

the remaining slices so via french toast

topped with your favorite toppings or

keep it simple by drizzling over maple

the syrup I would love to see a picture if

you do make this recipe
