Main Ingredients- 2 slices of bread (thicker bread works best for a richer texture)
- 2 Tbsp strawberry jam (or your favorite fruit jam)
Egg Mixture- 1 large egg
- 2/3 cup milk (approx. 130ml)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 large egg
- 2/3 cup milk (approx. 130ml)
- Pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather your ingredients for the French toast. You’ll need slices of bread and strawberry jam, which adds a wonderful sweetness. Feel free to substitute with other fruit jams for a different flavor profile!
Step 2
Let’s prepare the bread. Cutting it in half will make it easier to handle and eat.
Step 3
Carefully cut a pocket into each slice of bread, leaving about a 1cm border around the edges. This creates a space to fill with the delicious jam. Be gentle to avoid tearing the bread.
Step 4
Spread the strawberry jam evenly inside the pocket you just created on each bread slice. A good amount of jam will ensure a moist and flavorful center.
Step 5
Now, let’s make the egg mixture, the heart of our French toast. In a bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 2/3 cup of milk, and a pinch of salt until well combined. The milk amount is about 2/3 of a standard paper cup.
Step 6
Dip the jam-filled bread slices into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Let them soak for a moment to absorb the liquid. Then, place them in a lightly oiled pan over medium-low heat. Cooking slowly at this heat prevents burning and ensures the inside cooks thoroughly.
Step 7
Once one side is golden brown and beautifully cooked, carefully flip the French toast and cook the other side until it’s equally golden and crispy. Maintaining the right heat is key for a perfect golden crust and a moist interior.
Step 8
Your perfectly golden French toast is ready! Transfer it to a plate and enjoy it warm. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle it with powdered sugar or serve it with fresh fruit. Bon appétit!
