French Toast

Be the first to review!
A good French toast is as simple as they come for a morning meal. All you need is a thick slice of bread to bathe in an egg mixture laced with a touch of cinnamon and vanilla, then fry it in butter and oil until the exterior is a nice golden brown and the centre stays soft. It is one of those dishes that works whether you are in a hurry or want to take your time over a weekend brunch. And if you have some syrup, fresh fruit or a dusting of powdered sugar on hand for the top, so much the better.

Notes

  1. Butter + vegetable oil = better flavor + prevents burning.
  2. Thick bread works best for that soft inside, crispy outside.
  3. Top with syrup, powdered sugar, or fruits.
