The Simplest French Toast (2 ways)

  • French toast is one of the easiest (and most delicious) ways to use up some older/stale bread. Especially if you make your own sourdough bread and you happen to have tons lying around like I do. This is a classic and super duper simple french toast recipe, but with a bonus recipe at the end. I'll give you a hint: caramelized bananas.

    Ingredients you'll need:
    6-8 slices of stale bread (fresh is fine too but stale is best)
    2 1/2 tablespoons butter
    Egg Mixture:
    3 eggs
    2 egg yolks
    1 cup (225ml) whole milk
    1 teaspoon (3g) cinnamon
    1 teaspoon (6g) vanilla extract
    1/2 teaspoon (3g) fine sea salt
    3 tablespoons (30g) brown sugar

    Hey Josh, so I’ve made this recipe a few times and I wanted to offer a small tip, I mix the cinnamon with the eggs before I add the milk, which gets the cinnamon to bind with the eggs and be more evenly disbursed throughout the wash Instead of just sitting on the surface And clinging to the edges of the bowl. Gives better overall cinnamon distribution to each slice. Cheers :)

      Yep. I was a cook in the marines and I learned adding the cinnamon into the eggs before the milk helps it mix much better.

    or otherwise called EGG TOAST in the 1880's - Beat an egg smooth with half a teacup of rich milk. Dip slices of stale bread in this and fry a nice brown in butter. If for “the men,” add a pinch of pepper and salt to the egg. For children omit these and give them honey or syrup with it. It agrees equally well with meat or fish and fills the place of potatoes when you wish a change.

    I personnaly don't use cinnamon with my "pain perdu" ( a stupid translation would mean Lost bread ) and instead of vanilla i use rhum, it add some magic flavour, i simply LOVE it. I put some good rhum in the mix and let my bread absorb it for 3 to 4 hours ( an excellent method too is to use brioche instead of bread, it's amazingly delicious try you'll thank me later ). I'm not a big banana fan, but hey, taste choice, it's up to you :)
    Aniway, good recipe, next time try with rhum and let me know if you liked it ;)
