If yous follow my recipe blog, yous know that I telephone weep upwards him "Picky-picky husband" (because he is real timid when it comes to trying ANY new recipes); simply he is a GREAT guy as well as nosotros are to a greater extent than inwards beloved today than ever.

This is a recipe for basic French toast. Everyone seems to accept their ain recipe as well as in that place are a meg variations, simply this is a post service for the outset cook, consummate amongst a few tips I've learned over the years.

1. ANY breadstuff volition work, simply SOME breads brand a much ameliorate French toast than others.

2. Fresh, soft breadstuff makes the worst French toast; twenty-four hr menstruation one-time (or fifty-fifty calendar week old) breadstuff plant better.

3. Thicker breadstuff makes ameliorate French toast than thinner bread. 

4. Sweet bread like Texas toast works well, every bit practice semi-stale cinnamon rolls (sliced)  as well as of course of report raisin bread, (so proceed an opened upwards heed when thinking well-nigh breadstuff choices)!!

4 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
dash nutmeg (optional)

Whisk all of the to a higher house until real good mixed.  I similar to role my immersion blender to practice this.  Dip the breadstuff into the mixture as well as allow it sit down for 10 or xv seconds (longer if the breadstuff is extra dry) then elevator out as well as laid on preheated (and buttered) frying pan (I acquire the best results from my electrical frying pan). Cook until the French toast is golden dark-brown on both sides.

Serve forthwith amongst butter and HOT maple syrup.

NOTE: You tin role milk instead of cream, simply the cream gives a richer sense of savour as well as helps the French toast acquire that golden "crust".
