How To Make French Toast Even Better than the Diner

Since Saturday is French Toast Day, this article from The Kitchn seemed very timely!

Start with some bread, a few eggs, and butter and voila! You’ve got French toast. Right? Well, maybe not so fast. French toast has few ingredients, and it’s a quick-cooking recipe for sure, so it seems like it should be pretty straightforward. But for a dish so common, it’s not that hard to make poorly. There’s the burnt-outsides-and-raw-insides problem, that unpleasant-center-layer-of-un-eggy-bread issue, and the over-soaking-until-the-bread-falls-apart conundrum.

The real trick to making classic French toast is to pay close attention while you soak and cook. We’re going to show you how to do it well so you always have the French toast you deserve.

Here are some hints:

• Dry Bread Is Your Friend
• Pick Your Bread Thoughtfully
• Eggy Versus Milky Batter
• Butter and Oil and a Medium-Low Flame
• Knowing When French Toast Is Done

Step by step instructions are included in the article.

Unfortunately, my plan for this weekend is to do a 3 day cleanse, so no French toast for me :-(

But I will have to try this out sometime in the future. If you try it out, let me know how you like it!
