Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk add more if needed to thin the egg batter
  • 1 tsp cinnamon more or less as desired
  • 1 tbsp sugar more or less as desired
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet or any skillet
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 baking dish makes it easier to dip bread

Method
 

  1. To start, beat 2 large farm fresh eggs in a bowl.
  2. Pour in cream/milk, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla extract. Give it a good whisk.
  3. Next, get your pan hot and add some butter. When it melts, your pan is ready to use. I start usually on medium-low heat and eyeball it to see if it needs to be decreased as I am cooking.
  4. While your pan is heating up, slice your toast about 1/2 inch thick.
  5. One slice at a time, dip bread into the wet batter on each side making sure it is completely covered in batter then add to your pan. I like to cook two slices at a time to have room for flipping bread over.
  6. Cook for about 1 minute on each side or until it’s golden brown like you prefer.
  7. Plate your toast then lather each slice in butter and drizzle with syrup. Add fresh berries, powdered sugar, or fresh whipped cream to your slices for a little added panache. Maybe even a combination of all!

Notes

If you need to substitute cow’s milk, you can also make this with almond or soy milk, even coconut milk. You may even try it with a little water instead. French toast simply needs some liquid for the wet batter to adhere to the bread slice best.  You may also sub out the butter in the pan for avocado or coconut oil.
