French Toast







Ingredients
Main
- 6 slices brioche or white sandwich bread, slightly stale (Note 1)
- 30 – 40g / 2 – 3 tbsp butter
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs (~60g / 2 oz each)
- ½ cup / 125 ml milk
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Macerated Strawberries, optional
- 250g / 8 oz strawberries, halved
- 1 tbsp white sugar
Serving
- Maple syrup, butter
Instructions
- 1
Whisk together Egg Mixture in a bowl. Vigorous whisk = avoid cinnamon floating on top.
- 2
Melt 15g / 1 tbsp butter in a non stick skillet over medium heat.
- 3
Dunk a piece of bread quickly into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Place in pan. Repeat with more slices to fill the pan, but don't crowd it (do 2 or 3 at a time).
- 4
Cook for 2 ½ – 3 minutes on each side until the surface is golden, then transfer to serving plates.
- 5
Add more butter into the pan and cook remaining bread.
- 6
Serve with butter and plenty of maple syrup, and Macerated Strawberries if using!
- 7
Macerated Strawberries (optional) - Toss strawberries with sugar, set aside for 20 minutes+. The strawberries will soften and sweat, and create a bit of syrup.
