Best Hearty Homestyle French Toast Recipes

THE BEST FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, whisk together the first 7 ingredients. Preheat a greased griddle over medium heat., Dip bread in egg mixture, letting it soak 5 seconds on each side. Cook on griddle until golden brown on both sides. Serve with toppings as desired.

FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, and salt (as well as the optional vanilla extract and cinnamon, if using) in a medium shallow bowl until the mixture is fluffy and light in color.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working with one bread slice at a time, soak the bread in the egg mixture for 3 to 4 seconds per side. Don't let the slices sit too long; they will turn soggy and fall apart.
• Once butter is melted and bubbling, add 3 soaked bread slices to hot pan and cook until golden brown, or about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. (There may be some spots that do not brown; that's normal.)
• Flip each slice, and cook until gold brown, or about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining butter and egg-soaked bread. Serve hot with toppings of choice.

HEARTY HOMESTYLE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Beat the eggs in a bowl large enough to hold everything -- preferably one with a pouring spout.
• Beat in the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar.
• Heat a griddle and butter lightly.
• Pour some of the mix into a wide, shallow dish that will hold a slice of bread.
• Dip both sides of a slice of bread into the mix and lay it on the griddle. Fill the griddle.
• Cook slices until nicely browned, flip and brown the other side.
• Repeat with the rest of the bread. Be sure to beat the mix a few strokes before each refilling of the shallow dish. Add extra cinnamon if too much gets stuck to the early slices.
• Serve with a choice of your favorite toppings.
