French Toast

French Toast

serves 2, 20 min

Ingredients

bread            4 thick slices
eggs             2
whole milk       120ml
sugar            1 tbsp
vanilla extract  1 tsp
cinnamon         1/2 tsp
salt             pinch
butter           for frying

Slightly stale bread soaks best.

Recipe

1. Whisk in a wide dish until smooth and no streaks of egg remain:

[eggs 2, milk 120ml, sugar 1 tbsp, vanilla 1 tsp, cinnamon 1/2 tsp, salt pinch]

2. Soak each slice 20 to 30 seconds a side, until spongey through but not falling apart. Let the excess drip off.

3. Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Fry 2 to 3 minutes a side until deep golden.

4. For thick slices, finish in a 180°C oven for 3 to 5 minutes so the centre sets custardy rather than wet.

Serve with maple syrup. Keep slices warm in a low oven while you work through the batch.
