French toast, also known as pain doré, is a classic for brunches and gourmet breakfasts. Deliciously golden and crispy on the outside, soft and fragrant on the inside, these slices of bread soaked in a sweet mixture are reminiscent of childhood mornings at grandma's house. Easy to make and loved by the whole family, this French toast will brighten up your mornings with a touch of comfort and lots of flavor!
8 thick slices of slightly stale bread (sandwich loaf, brioche or baguette)
2 eggs
½ cup (125 ml) milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
A pinch of salt
2 tablespoons butter for cooking
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt until smooth.
Quickly dip each slice of bread into the mixture on both sides, so that they are thoroughly soaked but not too soggy.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and melt the butter.
Place the soaked bread slices in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh-cut fruit, a touch of powdered sugar or even a dollop of Greek yogurt for a creamy texture.
French toast is a must-have for generous breakfasts. Easy to prepare and always delicious, it brings young and old together around the table, promising sweet, warm, gourmet moments.
Personalized perfume : Add orange or lemon zest for a fresher taste.
Perfect cooking : Cook over medium heat to avoid burning the sugar in the mixture.
French toast with red berries : Add berries directly to the plate, or warm them slightly for a quick compote.
Chocolate French toast : Sprinkle with chocolate chips just before serving.
Stuffed French toast : Spread slices of bread with peanut butter, jam or chocolate spread before sandwiching and baking.
