Many people like to relish on a French toast as a dessert, sugary and with a lot of maple syrup. We would discuss a delicious French toast for a breakfast. You can top it with mushrooms, bacon, ham and onions. We will tell you how to make a brown, crispy French toast on the outside and creamier on the inside.
Ingredients that you need
- 3 eggs
- A tablespoon of sugar
- 8 slices of challah bread
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup half and half ( a readymade mixture of whole milk and light cream)
- Salt to taste
- For toppings you can use either parmesan cheese, roasted ham or chicken or sautéed veggies
Preparing the French toast
Pour half-and-half in a big bowl and add eggs, salt and sugar to it. Whisk the mixture well, till the mixture becomes consistent. Place a large pan on the stove and set it over medium heat. Put 1-tablespoon butter in the pan, as the butter heats. Tilt the pan and spread it over the entire inside of the pan.
Transfer the whisked mixture in a cake pan and place four slices of bread in the liquid. Allow it to soak in the liquid for a minute or two, then flip the side and let it soak for the same amount of time. Take one slice of the bread and let the excess liquid drip off it in the cake pan, now place the slice in the frying pan. If the frying pan is large enough place four slices on it or start with two if it is smaller in diameter. Soak the reaming slices of bread in the liquid.
Check underneath the slices of bread on the pan whether they have browned, turn the sides accordingly and prevent them from burning. When done, transfer them to a platter, add the preferred toppings, and serve. Before you start with the second batch, remove the frying pan from the heat and wipe it off. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to it and repeat the above process.
Some useful tips
The reason why we recommended the challah bread is, it is made of eggs and butter and has creamy insides. In fact, you can purchase a non-sliced loaf of bread and slice the bread according to your choice, thick or thin. However, we recommend a bit thick slices, so that they absorb the liquid well. You can also use milk instead of half-and-half, remember to pick quality eggs for the perfect French toast.
French toast is one delicacy that is available in almost all parts of the world. There are different versions and styles depending upon the country and their culture. We are sure that you must be convinced after reading the above method, making a perfect French toast in not very difficult after all.
