French Toast: Great French Toast

By pavaldez

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups half-and-half or more milk
• 8 slices of white bread, preferably day-old
• 3 large eggs
• 4 tbsp butter
• 2 tsp sugar maple syrup, to serve
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°F (95°C). In a shallow dish, beat together the milk, half-and-half, eggs, sugar, and vanilla.

Melt 1 tbsp butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. In batches, submerge each bread slice in the egg mixture until just saturated but not soaked. Add to the frying pan and cook, turning once, until golden on both sides. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while cooking the remaining bread.

Cut the toasts in half diagonally and arrange 4 pieces on each serving plate. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve.
