French Toast
Make this tasty treat perfect every time!
Equipment
- Pie plate, cake pan, or other shallow type pan or dish
- Frying pan
- Wire rack, optional
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Sourdough bread
- 1 cup Half and half milk or cream can be substituted
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or other natural sweetener
- 1/4 teaspoon Fine ground sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon, optional
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract, optional
- Butter for coating the frying pan
- Powdered sugar optional
Instructions
- Slice loaf of bread into 8 thick-cut slices approximately 3/4" thick.
- Allow bread to stale at room temperature overnight or dry out bread in a 350°F oven for approximately five minutes.
- Make the custard by mixing the half and half, maple syrup, salt, and eggs together until well blended. Also add the cinnamon and vanilla extract, if using.
- Pour the custard into a shallow pan and dip each piece of bread into the custard for 30 seconds on each side.
- Place the dipped bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a wire rack that's placed on a baking sheet. Allow each slice to rest and absorb the custard as you continue to dip the remaining slices of bread.
- Warm a frying pan on low to medium-low heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Once the butter has melted, add the first piece of dipped bread to the pan and allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove the golden toast to a heat-proof serving platter that's placed into a warm oven. Adjust the oven heat on the lowest setting to keep the French Toast warm as you continue to cook each piece.
- Serve warm topped with maple syrup and powdered sugar. Enjoy!
