Mastering the Art of Making Perfect French Toast
A simple yet elegant breakfast option! Learn how to make delicious, eggy French toast that’s perfect for any morning. This recipe yields a wonderfully moist and flavorful dish that kids and adults alike will adore.
Main Ingredients- 2 slices of bread (thicker bread slices will yield a richer texture)
- 1 large egg
- 50ml milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
Flavor Enhancers- 1/2 tablespoon sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference)
- 3 pinches of salt (enhances flavor and balances the egginess)
- Pinch of cinnamon powder (optional, for added aroma)
- Pinch of powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference)
- 3 pinches of salt (enhances flavor and balances the egginess)
- Pinch of cinnamon powder (optional, for added aroma)
- Pinch of powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a shallow dish or bowl wide enough to fit your bread slices, crack 1 large egg. Pour in 50ml of milk.
Step 2
Add 1/2 tablespoon of sugar for sweetness and 3 pinches of salt to balance the flavors. Whisk gently with a fork or whisk until the sugar and salt are dissolved and the mixture is well combined. Don’t overmix.
Step 3
Now for the star of the show! Take your two slices of bread and submerge them in the egg and milk mixture. Let each side soak for about 10-20 seconds, ensuring the bread absorbs the custard evenly. Flip them carefully to coat both sides. Be gentle to avoid the bread breaking.
Step 4
Before you start cooking, preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat the surface evenly. Make sure the butter doesn’t burn.
Step 5
Once the butter is melted and lightly sizzling, carefully place the egg-soaked bread slices into the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and beautifully crisp. Flip them over to cook the other side until equally golden.
Step 6
Transfer the perfectly golden-brown French toast to a serving plate. For an extra aromatic touch, lightly dust the top with cinnamon powder. The warm spice complements the sweet bread wonderfully.
Step 7
Finally, for a touch of elegance and extra sweetness, sift a little powdered sugar over the French toast. Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy on its own, or with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit or maple syrup!
