Easy French Toast Recipe
This easy french toast recipe is a delight for the mouth. It has a crispy outer texture with a soft, creamy interior that is just slightly sweet. It goes well with almost any breakfast variation from fresh fruit and cream to maple syrup, peanut butter, banana, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 8 slices ½" thick, stale/day old bread
- 1 cup half and half
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1-2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
Instructions
- You will need stale/day old bread for this French toast. Lay the bread on a cooling rack or baking sheet overnight. The more of the bread’s surface area is exposed to the air, the more evenly and quicker it will dry out.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, honey, vanilla, salt. Pour into a pie pan or flat bottom pan.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Dip each piece of bread into the egg mixture and let it soak the egg for about 30 seconds per side. Once dipped, place on a wire rack which is on top of a sheet pan or cooking sheet. I also add a piece of parchment under the wire rack to catch egg drippings.
- Continue to dip each piece of bread. Allow to rest on cooling rack for 1-2 minutes.
- In a 10 inch pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook 2 slices of bread at a time in the pan, until golden brown on both sides.
- Once all slices are golden brown, place on the cooling rack or cookie sheet and into the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- Serve with your toppings of choice. Hope you enjoy this like we do!
