This tried and tested recipe promises the best French toast, using tips like a specific bread-to-egg ratio and recommended bread types for winning results. It's designed for a delicious breakfast with fresh toppings.
1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond or regular milk, coconut or golden sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
2. Heat a pan or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of grass-fed butter for every 4 slices of bread you plan to cook (e.g., 2 tablespoons for 8 slices).
3. Drench each thick slice of bread (brioche, challah, or Texas-style) in the batter, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
4. Place the batter-coated bread slices onto the hot pan or griddle with the melted butter.
5. Cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
6. Serve immediately with fresh berries, sliced bananas, a drizzle of dark maple syrup, and a dusting of confectioners' sugar for an elevated look.
