French Toast is a simple way to bring some of that going-out-for-breakfast feel straight to your kitchen. And what I love most about it is that it can be completely personalized to your taste depending on what type of bread and toppings you chose to use. My personal favourite - large slices of multi seed & grain bread and maple syrup.
What You'll Need:
- Cooktop (gas or electric)
- Frying pan (I use 24cm one)
- Small mixing bowl
Ingredients:
- 50ml vegetable oil (that's for a 24cm frying pan - it doesn't matter if you use bigger or smaller one, just make sure the oil comes up to about half of your bread's thickness)
- 2 lrg pcs of bread
- 1 egg, whisked
- 25ml milk
- 1/4 tcp cinnamon (optional)
Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium-high until it's very hot. The hotter the oil, the quicker will your toast fry and therefore absorb less fat. But at the same time, don't burn the oil! Just place your hand over the pan (safe distance please!) and if it feels hot, it'll be hot enough.
In the meantime, mix the egg and milk. I like to add some cinnamon because it smells divine when it cooks, but seriously, if you don't have it, don't worry about it. Once your oil is hot, dip the bread into your egg mixture and gently place inside the frying pan. It will take about 1 minute on that first side, and 30 seconds when you turn it over.
Cover with your choice of toppings - maple syrup, fresh fruit, ice cream - and enjoy!
Serves: 1
Tip: if you have people over for breakfast, sprinkle some icing sugar over the french toast, for that wow factor.
