Recipe Details

  • Yields: 1
  • Prep Time: 5 min
  • Cook Time: 25 min
  • Total Time: 30 min

Ingredients

  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup of milk (1/4 for a more solid consistency)
  • 5 Slices of bread
  • Maple Syrup (Optional)
  • Butter

Instructions

  1. Begin by buttering your frying pan and placing it over a burner set to low-medium heat. Keep a little extra butter handy, as you may need to add more to the pan between slices.
  2. Crack both eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  3. Pour the milk into the bowl with the eggs.
  4. Using a beater, break the yolks and whisk the mixture thoroughly. You want to achieve a completely smooth, uniform yellow liquid.
  5. Take a slice of bread and dip one side into the egg mixture, ensuring the entire surface area is well-coated.
  6. Immediately lift the slice and use a butter knife to gently scrape away any excess liquid from the side you just dipped.
  7. Flip the bread and repeat the dipping and scraping process for the second side.
  8. Carefully place the prepared bread into your preheated frying pan.
  9. Cook until both sides have turned a beautiful golden brown, then transfer the slice to a plate.
  10. Continue this process for all five slices of bread until the entire batch is cooked.
  11. If you like, you can finish the dish by drenching your warm stack of French toast in maple syrup.

Tips for Success

The texture of your French toast is easy to customize to your personal preference. If you enjoy a more solid consistency, simply reduce the milk to 1/4 cup. Additionally, keeping your heat at a steady low-medium level ensures the bread cooks through and browns evenly without burning.

We hope you enjoy this simple, classic breakfast that is guaranteed to start your day on a sweet note.
