French Toast Ingredients

All the ingredients used in making french toast are easily available and pantry staples. 

• Eggs- You can use either white eggs or brown eggs. I have used free range organic eggs.
• Granulated sugar- Brown sugar or white sugar both can be used.I have used white sugar.
• Cinnamon powder- I have used ceylon cinnamon powder which is known for its health benefits. This also helps to prevent blood sugar spike after consuming sugar. 
• Milk- Any dairy or non dairy milk can be used. I have used regular 2% milk.
• Bread- I have used white milk bread. Given a choice I use brioche bread for french toast but I had milk bread at hand so I used that.
• Butter-Unsalted butter to be used.
• Syrup- This is completely optional but it enhances the taste. You can use either pancake syrup, maple syrup or honey.

How to Make French Toast?

French toast is a dish made of bread soaked in a mixture of beaten eggs, milk and sugar. Batter coated bread is fried in a pan to crispy golden perfection and topped with syrup.

Here’s how to make it:

Cut bread loaf into thick slices. Or use thick-sliced bread.

In a bowl Add eggs, granulated sugar, milk and cinnamon powder.

Blend this mixture using a hand whisk. Keep it aside.

On the other side, take a pan and heat butter on it.

Meanwhile, soak the bread properly into a beaten mixture.

Now put it on a pan and fry both sides for 3-4 mins until golden brown and crisps.

Recipe Notes & Tips

Here are a few tips to make the best french toast recipe.

• Fry the batter coated bread always on low flame. Cooking on high flame will burn the crust and it will not cook from inside.
• Try to use thick bread slices. Thinly sliced bread gets soggy and breaks when you dip it in the batter. 
• To make the crust crispy you can add 1 tablespoon of cornflour.

Substitutions

You can switch a few ingredients if you are following a particular diet or change up any ingredients.

• Bread-  Instead of regular bread gluten free or brown bread can also be used.
• Few drops of vanilla extract will enhance the taste but it's totally optional.
• Milk- Any non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk can be used.
• Butter-You can fry it in ghee also of the same amount.
• Sugar- You can use brown sugar or stevia.

Storage

You can freeze leftover french toast in aluminium foil and freeze it upto 1 month. To serve it, reheat it wrapped in a paper towel in the microwave or pop it into an oven toaster on low temperature and enjoy.
