Classic French Toast
FOODday, Dec 27, 2005
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup of half and half
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
dash of salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, dissolved in a little hot water
4 slices 3/4-inch bread
butter for cooking
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, sugar, vanilla, salt and cinnamon thoroughly incorporating the eggs so the whites are completely blended. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish, such as a pie plate, for easier dipping.
Dip bread slices in egg mixture, turning to coat both sides, until thoroughly coated (if using crusty artisan bread, soak for 2 to 3 minutes per side).
Melt 1 tbsp butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook slices in melted butter over medium heat about 3 minutes on each side, not cooking too quickly, until nicely browned. Wipe skillet with a paper towel between batches, adding another table spoon of butter as needed.
