Classic French Toast with Thick Sliced Bread
Enjoy a delightful brunch with this easy-to-make French toast using thick slices of bread. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal!
Making French toast with thick, whole wheat bread results in a wonderfully moist and tender interior, complemented by a perfectly golden-brown exterior. It’s a delightful way to elevate your breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients- 1/2 loaf of thick sliced bread (about 1.5-2 inches thick)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (approx. 60ml)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a shallow dish or tray, whisk together the 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup of milk, and a pinch of salt until well combined and slightly frothy. This mixture will form the custard for your French toast.
Step 2
Cut the 1/2 loaf of thick bread into desired serving portions. For a typical brunch serving, 1 to 2 slices per person is common. If serving multiple people, you might cut each slice into 2 or 3 pieces. (For example: 3 servings were made from 3 pieces).
Step 3
Dip each slice of bread into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Allow the bread to soak for a moment, but avoid over-soaking, as this can make the bread too soggy. You want the custard to coat the bread without completely saturating the inside, ensuring a good balance when cooked.
Step 4
Melt the 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet or on a griddle over medium-low heat. Place the coated bread slices into the hot skillet. Cook for 2-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You can also carefully stand the slices on their sides to ensure even browning all around.
