Weekends are perfect for special breakfasts. So why not make French toast? It’s a favorite to order in a restaurant because they tend to make it a lot better than we make it at home. But you can easily make the best classic French toast at home and share it with everyone around you.
Ingredients needed:
milk eggs heavy whipping cream white sugar vanilla extract ground cinnamon ground nutmeg salt brioche or challah bread butter desired toppings
How to make the Best Classic French Toast:
The full, printable recipe is at the end of this post. You will need a loaf of good bread. I suggest using either brioche or challah bread. You should be able to find one of those in the bakery of your local market. Cut the loaf into thick slices. Two slices per person is a good serving size. Follow the instructions in the recipe for making the dipping batter. Dip the bread into the batter so it covers both sides well. Let the excess drip off. Melt butter in a skillet. Add the dipped bread to the skillet.
Cook the French toast on each side until lightly golden brown- 3 to 5 minutes per side.
For serving, add a pat of butter (if desired) and warm maple syrup.
Syrup is the traditional way to top the best classic french toast. But I’d like to suggest you add berries too. Blueberries and strawberries are a great topper for French toast, and they happen to taste pretty good with the maple syrup too. Enjoy!
