Serve and Garnish
Omit the sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Instead, add a pinch of black pepper, a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese, and some finely chopped herbs like chives or parsley to the egg mixture.
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese, Nutella, or fruit jam between two thin slices of bread. Press them together firmly, then dip the 'sandwich' in the custard and fry as directed.
Add the zest of one orange to the custard mixture for a bright, citrusy flavor that pairs wonderfully with the cinnamon and nutmeg.
Use a plant-based milk like almond or soy, replace the eggs with a 'flax egg' (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water) or a batter made from chickpea flour, and use vegan butter or coconut oil for frying.
The eggs in the custard provide high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle repair, immune function, and keeping you feeling full and satisfied.
Carbohydrates from the bread and sugar offer a readily available source of energy, making this a popular choice to kickstart your morning.
Milk is a great source of calcium and Vitamin D, which are crucial for maintaining strong bones and teeth.
A serving of two pieces of this French toast, without toppings, contains approximately 350-450 calories. The final count can vary based on the type of bread, milk, and amount of butter used. Toppings like maple syrup and fruit will add to the total.
French toast is generally considered an indulgent breakfast treat rather than a health food, as it's high in refined carbohydrates, sugar, and fat. However, you can make it healthier by using whole-grain bread, reducing the sugar, using low-fat milk, and topping it with fresh fruit instead of syrup.
Soggy French toast is usually caused by two things: oversoaking the bread in the custard or cooking it at too low a temperature. Soak the bread for just 20-30 seconds per side, and make sure your pan is preheated to a steady medium heat so the exterior crisps up quickly.
The best bread is thick-cut, sturdy, and slightly stale. Brioche and challah are classic choices because their rich, eggy crumb holds up well. Texas toast or a thick-cut country white bread are also excellent options.
Yes, you can. Cook the French toast as directed and let it cool completely. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster, toaster oven, or on a baking sheet in the oven until warm and crisp.
