French Toast
Pinterest Hidden Image

Hey everybody… guess what? I’m getting better with eating breakfast in the morning. During the month of December, I like to eat Panettone but when it’s all gone, I switch to something else. It can be a small bowl of Granola, grapefruit, Boiled Eggs or even Yogurt. At least now, I eat something which until a year ago might have happened once a month.
 
With Club Foody, I had no choice but to force myself to eat something in the morning. Although I might skip a couple days per week, most of the time I do eat something in the morning. A delicious breakfast item that I brought back to my morning routine is French Toast also called “Pain Doré” in Québec or “Pain Perdu” in France.
 
I grew up with it because my parents made it often since it was so fast to make. In just 15 minutes, this tasty dish is ready. It can be served with butter, maple syrup, dusted with confectioners’ sugar OR all of the above. The way I like mine is with a little bit of maple syrup and a light dusting of icing sugar… I don’t see the need to add butter when the bread slices are actually browned in it. I like to serve my French Toast with a couple slices of Bacon and some fresh fruit. It completes the meal so beautifully.
 
The trick to making great French Toast is the choice of bread. You need to have nice thick slices otherwise they might fall apart and not hold their shape after dipping them in the egg mixture. At the supermarket I go to, they sell thick sliced bread similar to what I used to have when I was a child. If you can’t find it, your other options would be using Brioche Bread or Challah. The other alternative is using a Baguette but it would have to be soaked longer as the bread is more dense.
 
Another tip to making them incredible is using half-and-half instead of regular milk in the egg mixture. The texture will be thicker and therefore less “wet”. The egg mixture will stick to the bread better, the dipping time will be shorter and as a result they will hold their shape better. The bread will also taste better because of the creamier egg mixture.
 
This is an amazing breakfast item to enjoy in the morning. French Toast is quick to make plus much more flavorful than regular toast. It’s a nice recipe to break the monotony of the first meal of the day. It can also be served on special occasions like Mother’s Day brunch…
Bon Appétit!
