Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bread (thick slices work best)
- 1 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing the pan.
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruits, whipped cream.
Instructions:
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
Soak the Bread:
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Allow the bread to soak for about 20-30 seconds on each side, but be careful not to oversaturate, as it can make the toast soggy.
Cooking:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or coat with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Serve:
- Once both sides are cooked to your liking, transfer the French toast to a plate.
Add Toppings:
- Serve the French toast hot with your favorite toppings. Maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruits, and whipped cream are popular choices.
Optional: Keep Warm in Oven:
- If you're making a larger batch, you can keep the cooked French toast warm by placing it in a preheated oven (200°F or 93°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
Enjoy:
- Enjoy your homemade French toast!
