French Toast Recipes & Tips

[Sterla]

I want to make french toast for breakfast on Sunday for DH's first Father's Day. I've never made it though and can't find a recipe in any of my cook books. Anyone got a fool proof recipe for me?

For the egg mix I use eggs, a little bit of milk (not much though), a little bit of sugar & a little bit of cinnamon & wisk it all together. Dunk the bread in, I dont let it soak too long & cook on a low heat so it cooks through without burning or ending up soggy in the middle.

The other thing you can do before you put the bread in the egg mix is put some jam between 2 slices of bread & then put in the egg mix. It tastes like a jam doughnut when its cooked.

When its done I sprinkle with icing sugar or a mix of cinnamon & sugar

Ohhhh yummmmm...

I'm similar to DB, but less precise...chuck some eggs and a little milk (I always add too much, I have to remember to use less milk than I do with my scrambled eggs, which evaporate a bit), and then I fry and then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

I've not made the savoury ones before, but I reckon dh wouldn't mind a bit of egg and bacon action on father's day.

A few eggs, a dollop of cream, salt, pepper, whisk it together lightly and dunk the bread.
In th epan, low-med heat, sprinkle of chives on the raw side.
Serve with slow roasted balsamic tomoatoes, mushrooms and lightly sauteed ham
