Questions about French toast
How do you make French toast without it going soggy?
Whisk one egg with a splash of milk and a pinch of cinnamon for every two slices. Dip each slice briefly, letting thick or slightly stale bread soak for a few seconds longer, then fry in butter over medium-low heat for about 2–3 minutes per side.
Which bread is best for French toast?
Brioche and challah make rich, soft French toast; a thick-cut white loaf gives a sturdier result. Slightly stale bread holds its shape better than very fresh bread, which can turn mushy in the egg mixture.
Can you keep leftover French toast in the fridge?
Cool it promptly, then store it in a covered container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a frying pan or toaster until hot throughout; a microwave works too, though the toast will be softer.
What do you serve with French toast?
For a sweet breakfast, add berries or sliced banana and a little yoghurt, or serve it with maple syrup. In a savoury version, leave out the cinnamon and pair it with grilled tomatoes, mushrooms or crisp bacon.
Is French toast the same as eggy bread?
They are essentially the same dish: slices of bread dipped in beaten egg, often with milk, then fried. French toast is commonly served sweet, while eggy bread is often made and eaten as a savoury dish.
Is French toast more filling than plain toast?
It has more protein and fat, while plain toast has more carbohydrate: French toast has 7.7 g of protein and 11 g of fat per 100 g, compared with 9.7 g and 5.9 g respectively in toast.
Can you freeze French toast?
Yes. Freeze cooled slices in a single layer, then transfer them to a sealed container with baking paper between slices. Reheat from frozen in a toaster or oven until hot throughout.
