French Toast
Perfectly pan-fried French Toast with a custardy center and crispy edges!
Servings: 12 slices
Ingredients
- 12 large slices of day-old challah homemade or good quality
- 6 extra-large eggs
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- Butter for frying
- Confectioners' sugar for dusting
Accompaniments
- Powdered Sugar
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl or baking pan, whisk together the eggs. Add the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt and whisk until well blended. Turn the bread slices, two at a time, in the egg mixture until thoroughly saturated, but not falling apart, about 20 seconds per side. Heat a large skillet (I like to use a cast-iron) over medium to medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. When foaming subsides, add the soaked bread slices and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Turn the bread and continue to cook until the second side is golden brown, another 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200ºF oven while you finish the remaining bread slices. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup. Enjoy!
