French Toast
Crusty French or sourdough bread, sliced 1-inch thick, is ideal for making French toast.
Serves 4
Preparation time: 5–10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
4 eggs
1 cup milk
¼ teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons margarine
8 slices bread
¼ cup brown sugar, optional
½ cup maple syrup, or as needed
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, and ground nutmeg.
Heat the margarine in a skillet on medium to low-medium heat.
Dip one of the pieces of bread in the egg mixture, coating well. Continue with the remaining pieces of bread, but only dip as many pieces of bread in the mixture as you are cooking at one time.
Lay the soaked bread in the skillet. Cook on one side for about 2 minutes until browned, then turn over and cook the other side
Serve the French toast with the brown sugar and maple syrup.
The Best French Toast
French toast should be firm enough to cut into, and not too soggy. For best results, use a good crusty bread such as French bread, or white bread that is several days old.
