Questions about French toast
How do you make French toast without it going soggy?
Use day-old, fairly sturdy bread and dip each slice briefly in beaten egg and milk rather than leaving it to soak. Fry in a lightly buttered pan over medium heat for about 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden and set in the middle.
What bread is best for French toast?
Thick-cut brioche, challah or an unsliced white loaf gives a soft centre and browned edges. Day-old bread works especially well because it absorbs the egg mixture without falling apart.
Can you make French toast in the oven?
Yes. Arrange the dipped slices in a buttered baking dish and bake at 180 °C for about 20–25 minutes, turning once, until browned and cooked through.
What do you serve with French toast?
For a sweet breakfast, try berries and yoghurt, sliced banana with cinnamon, or maple syrup. It also works as a savoury dish with grated cheese, mushrooms or wilted spinach; leave out the sugar and vanilla in the egg mixture.
Can you keep leftover French toast?
Cool it promptly, refrigerate in a covered container and eat within two days. Reheat in a frying pan or toaster oven until hot throughout; freeze slices in a single layer first, then store them in a freezer bag.
Why is French toast also called pain perdu?
Pain perdu means “lost bread” in French: the dish is a way to use bread that has gone stale rather than waste it. French toast is made in many places, with local variations in the bread and toppings.
How much protein is in a slice of French toast?
A typical slice weighing about 65 g contains roughly 7.7 g of protein.
