French Toast
The best French toast feels like dessert, crackling and crisp on the outsides with pudding-soft centers. You get that effect quickly with this easy French toast recipe or you can take your time with Overnight French Toast, which tastes like bread pudding. Even though this version is fast enough for a weekday breakfast, it’s special enough for weekend brunch.
Ingredients
- 1large egg
- 1/4cup milk
- Salt
- 2slices sandwich bread
- 1/2tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for serving
- Maple syrup, jam or other toppings, for serving
Directions
In a bowl or shallow dish that will fit the bread, beat the egg, milk and a pinch of salt with a fork until very smooth and bubbly on top.
Add both bread slices (it’s OK to stack them if they don’t quite fit) and soak them, turning a few times, until the mixture is fully absorbed.
Set a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and swirl it around the pan until it melts. The soaked bread will be really soft, so carefully pick up each slice by sliding your whole hand under it, then setting it in the pan. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the slices, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the other sides are brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
Enjoy hot, with more butter spread over the slices and with your favorite toppings.
Notes
You can double, triple or quadruple the amounts to make enough for friends.
