Golden Ratio! The Ultimate Soft French Toast Recipe
Cafe-Style at Home! Moist and Sweet French Toast, 5-Minute Magic Tips
With just soft milk bread and eggs, you can enjoy cafe-quality, moist, and sweet French toast right at home. Here’s a recipe using simple ingredients for a special breakfast.
Bread- 1 loaf of soft milk bread (using thick-sliced bread is recommended for a richer texture)
Egg Mixture- 5 fresh eggs
- 100ml cold milk (optional, for an even softer texture)
- 5 fresh eggs
- 100ml cold milk (optional, for an even softer texture)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The foundation of great French toast is fresh, soft bread. Milk bread, in particular, absorbs the egg mixture beautifully, leading to a delicious outcome. While great for sandwiches, thick slices like these make for a satisfying meal.
Step 2
First secret to ultra-soft French toast: make the egg mixture! Crack 5 eggs into a bowl. For an even softer texture, add 100ml of cold milk. A splash of vanilla extract will boost the aroma wonderfully. Whisk gently with a fork until smooth.
Step 3
The second secret to ultimate softness: strain the egg mixture through a sieve! This removes any eggy lumps, resulting in a silky-smooth batter. Use a spoon to gently push the mixture through the sieve. You’ll achieve a batter as smooth as silk.
Step 4
Behold, our smooth, golden egg mixture is ready! Isn’t it mouthwatering? This rich batter will soak the bread, creating French toast that melts in your mouth.
Step 5
Now, gently dip your bread slices into this luscious egg mixture. Flip them carefully to ensure both sides are evenly coated. Be gentle – pressing too hard or flipping too aggressively can tear the bread. Let the bread soak for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, allowing it to absorb the batter well.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking oil. Using high heat will burn the outside before the inside cooks, so slow and steady wins the race. Carefully place the batter-soaked bread slices into the pan.
Step 7
The charm of French toast lies in its sweetness! Sprinkle about 4 tablespoons of sugar evenly over the top of the bread slices. You can sprinkle on one side or both, as you prefer. The sugar will caramelize as it cooks, adding a delightful touch.
Step 8
Cook the batter-and-sugar-coated bread on medium-low heat, flipping to achieve a beautiful golden-brown color on both sides. Ensure the outside is crispy while the inside remains wonderfully moist. The sweet, toasty aroma filling your home is a sign that your delicious French toast is almost ready, making mornings happier for everyone!
Step 9
Serve your perfectly cooked French toast immediately while it’s warm. Take a bite with your fork and savor the sweet, rich flavor! Enjoy it with a glass of cold milk or a cup of aromatic coffee for the ultimate treat. It’s an excellent choice for a hearty breakfast or a delightful dessert. This simple yet special French toast recipe is guaranteed to start your day wonderfully!
