Or Freedom Toast if you’re still hung up on the whole France thing. The other day when I was doing a quick pickup at the market, I got it in my head that I wanted French Toast sometime in the near future. And none of this mess of squishy white bread from my youth, either. (Sorry, Mom, this really was much better.) Found a little loaf of french bread (yeah, I need to carve out some time to make it here) grabbed some eggs and today it became lunch. The bread had gotten just a tiny bit stale, so it had good form to it (for lack of a better description) and didn’t get all soggy when I soaked it in the eggs & milk. Popped it in the fry pan with some butter and golden brown happiness ensued. A bit of maple syrup and a glass of cold milk, and I had the best lunch I’ve had in a while.
It is SO much better with the french bread than regular “white” bread – next time I think I’ll slice it a touch thicker, though.
Pardon the slight blur, I was attempting to photograph and defend my lunch from my cat at the same time.
Nothing special about the process – ~1 egg + splash of milk per piece of bread. Let soak ~1 minute per side. Fry up in hot butter.
thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog…
I love french toast..I like to use sour dough thickly sliced..there is just something about hte combo of sour/sweet that appeals to me.
Yeah, it’s great w/sourdough. I’ve also had it with challah bread which was great.
