Americans what is the recipe for supreme French toast?

Question

awww Felicity O you're obviously so rightly shocked at your idea the British have made a contribution to world cuisine you're being fiercly defensive and childish, how cute

Answer 1

Keep it simple, just wisk up some eggs in a bowl, soak the bread until it is soggy - then fry in in a pan. For sweet french toast, add some cinnamin to the egg mixture and sugar or honey on the cooked toast. For savoury toast just add salt and pepper.

Answer 2

Felicity O is an idiot. Everyone knows the French have made the biggest contribution to world cuisine. Most chefs I have seen are French or have studied at culinary schools in France. A lot of the foods we eat were invented by the French.

bread
1 egg
milk
vanilla extract
cinnamon
and I mix some cinnamon and sugar together

I whisk the egg and milk together, then stir in the vanilla, and cinnamon. Then I heat some butter in a pan, let the bread soak for a few seconds in the milk/egg mixture cook both sides. Then when Im done sprinkle it with the cinnamon and sugar. Then put maple syrup on it. My brother says its really good. I dont really eat french toast I like to cook for other people.

In a shallow baking dish, combine the eggs and water or milk and beat them lightly. Add the bread in a single layer, soaking the first side 1 to 2 minutes, then turning and soaking the other side.

Answer 4

My Homemade French Toast

4 slices per person, of white bread(you can cut this recipe in half), feeding 4 people

Blend 6 eggs in a bowl
pour in a 1/4 cup of milk (or cream), and blend using a whisk or a fork (for firmer toast use water)
Blend in 1/2 a tablespoon Cinnamon/ 3 tablespoons of white sugar(optional)
Have your pan heated, and add at least 2 tablespoons of butter, per slice.
Dip both sides of the bread into the egg mixture.
Brown on both sides.
Add a pat of butter to each piece, and stack the slices, one on top of the other.
Use any syrup of your choice.
You may also sprinkle some powdered sugar on top, and any fresh fruit of your choice.
Most folks I know love Blueberries, bananas, and strawberries. I just like mine plain, without the extra sugar, or syrup, but hey, that's me. Happy eating!

Answer 5

Use Brioche or panettone bread. For the egg wash use 2 eggs for each cup of milk (called a royal). Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange juice. Dip, sear in butter and finish in 375 f oven for 6 min. For ultimate luxury, top with marscapone cheese flavored with orange zest and powdered sugar.

I agree with everything Libby said, only I use Texas toast.. you know, those big slabs of bread. They fry up crispy on the outside, but incredibly soft and sweet on the inside. Yum.

beat 2 large eggs adding soy vanilla milk
add cinnamon (according to taste)
fry in a well buttered pan (real butter)
until golden brown
sprinkle with powdered sugar and top with syrup

Answer 9

Why ask an American? Surely French toast is from France - except it isn't. This is an English invention. - Best ask someone English. As far as I can remember it involves bread soaked in egg and then fried. What makes it supreme is normally the addition of cream.
