Watch How to Make French Toast
Bread: My personal favorite bread for French toast is brioche, but I’ve detailed the differences below so you can select what’s right for you. If the bread is sold in loaves and not pre-sliced, slice it 3/4-inch thick. Eggs: The eggs are whisked together with half and half, sugar, flour and spices to create a custard-like mixture. The eggs act as a binder to firm up the liquid ingredients and “glue” the batter to the bread. Half and half: This is half milk, half heavy cream, so feel free to make your own. Half and half is preferred over milk for a richer, creamier mouthfeel, but you may use any milk or milk substitute noting it won’t achieve quite the same texture. Flour: This secret ingredient thickens the egg mixture to make a “batter” that clings the French Toast without making it soggy, yielding extra fluffy and extra crispy results. Cornstarch: This works with the flour to absorb moisture and make the homemade French toast extra crispy. Brown sugar: This adds very subtle sweetens and helps the French toast caramelize better than granulated sugar with those caramelized lacey exteriors. Vanilla extract: Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor. Spices: The recipe for French toast is infused with the aromatic flavors of ground cinnamon and nutmeg. A pinch of salt balances and enhances all the flavors.
