Moist and Sweet Homemade French Toast
How to Make Delicious French Toast: The Perfect Brunch Dish
Introducing a recipe for wonderfully sweet and tender French toast, perfect for breakfast! Using simple ingredients, you can create an impressive breakfast or brunch. We’ll share the secret to achieving perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside French toast!
Basic Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (thick slices recommended)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
- 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp sugar (15g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup milk, 3/4 cup heavy cream, 1 large egg, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix thoroughly until the sugar is dissolved. This custard mixture is crucial for the French toast’s soft texture and rich flavor.
Step 2
Soak the bread slices generously in the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Let them soak for about 30 seconds to 1 minute to absorb the custard fully. Be careful, as very thin bread can break easily. Using thicker bread slices is ideal for best results.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Carefully place the soaked bread slices into the heated pan. Cook without burning, allowing them to turn a beautiful golden brown on one side.
Step 4
Once the first side is a lovely golden brown, flip the bread and cook the other side until equally golden. Cooking slowly over low heat is key to ensuring the inside is cooked through and moist while the outside becomes delightfully crisp. Transfer the perfectly cooked French toast to a serving plate.
Step 5
Finally, dust the warm French toast with powdered sugar or drizzle generously with maple syrup. For added texture and flavor, garnish with sliced almonds or chopped walnuts. Enjoy your delicious homemade French toast!
