How to Cook Salted Caramel French Toast

How to Cook French Toast
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bread (sturdy bread like brioche or challah works best)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Butter or cooking spray for frying
- Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fruit for serving (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon (if using) until well combined.
2. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or cooking spray to grease the surface.
3. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side until fully coated but not soggy.
4. Place the dipped bread slices onto the preheated skillet or griddle.
5. Cook the French toast for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the French toast from the skillet and transfer to serving plates.
7. Serve hot with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
How to Cook Caramel Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Heat the granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon until the sugar starts to melt and clump together.
2. Continue to cook the sugar, stirring constantly, until it has completely melted and turned into a golden amber color. Be careful not to burn it.
3. Once the sugar has melted, add the butter to the saucepan. Stir until the butter is completely melted and combined with the caramelized sugar.
4. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly. The mixture will bubble up, so be careful.
5. Allow the mixture to boil for about 1 minute, then remove it from the heat.
6. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until well combined.
7. Let the caramel sauce cool for a few minutes before using it.
8. Use immediately or store the caramel sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat before using if it becomes too thick.
How to Cook Fried Apples
Ingredients:
- 2 apples (any variety you prefer), cored and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.
2. Once the butter is melted, add the sliced apples to the skillet.
3. Sprinkle the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt over the apples.
4. Cook the apples, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
5. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent the apples from burning.
6. Once the apples are tender and caramelized, remove the skillet from the heat.
7. Serve the fried apples warm as a side dish or topping for pancakes, French toast, or oatmeal.
