Best Bread for French Toast
While brioche, challah, and French baguettes are top choices for French toast, you can use any type of bread you have on hand. Keep in mind that some breads may need a little extra time to soak up the egg mixture.
How to Make French Toast:
This classic French toast recipe is super easy to prepare. Here’s how to make it:
- Whisk together all of the ingredients (except for the bread and butter) in a bowl.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides.
- Cook the bread slices on a preheated, buttered griddle or skillet until golden brown on both sides.
- Repeat with the remaining bread slices.
- Transfer the French toast to a plate and serve with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Cooking Tips:
- Toast the bread over medium heat to ensure it cooks evenly. High heat can cause the bread to burn on the outside while staying raw on the inside.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to suit your taste.
- The recipe makes 12 servings. If you need less, simply halve or quarter the ingredients.
- Remember, some breads take longer to soak in the egg mixture than others, so be patient!
