Ingredients
For the French Toast
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1/2 tsp Salt adjust to taste
- 1/4 tsp Pepper freshly ground, black, for best flavor
- 4 slices Bread challah or texas toast recommended, use your favorite bread
Instructions
Prepare the Egg Mixture
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish until well combined.
Soak the Bread
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let the bread soak for about 15-20 seconds per side, allowing it to absorb the custard.
Cook the French Toast
- Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the bread slices in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the French toast immediately. Top with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect French Toast
- For extra fluffy French toast, use slightly stale bread. The bread will absorb the custard better, resulting in a softer texture.
- Don't overcrowd the pan! Cooking in batches ensures even browning and prevents the bread from steaming instead of frying.
- Experiment with different types of milk! Whole milk will create richer, creamier French toast, while using buttermilk will add a tangy twist.
- Get creative with toppings! Consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon, a drizzle of honey, or some chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
