Regular French Toast

Classic French toast made with a rich custard of eggs, cream, milk, cinnamon, brown sugar, and nutmeg. Keep the sweetness restrained and watch the custard quantity so the bread stays tender instead of soggy. Best eaten with something on the side.

Regular French Toast

Ingredients

Batter:

  • •3 eggs
  • •2 egg yolks
  • •1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • •1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • •1.5 tbsp light brown sugar
  • •Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • •1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • •3/4 cup whole milk

Toppings:

  • •Toast bread, sliced
  • •Unsalted butter, for the pan and for serving
  • •Maple syrup, for serving

Directions

Batter:

  1. Whisk the eggs, egg yolks, cinnamon, sea salt, brown sugar, and nutmeg until smooth. Whisk in the heavy cream and milk, then pour the custard into a shallow dish.

  2. Slice the toast bread. Dunk each slice for only a few seconds so it picks up custard but does not become sodden.

  3. Heat a large pan with melted unsalted butter and cook each slice about 3 minutes per side until deep golden.

Toppings:

  1. Serve warm with a small knob of butter and maple syrup—keep sweetness moderate—or add savoury sides on the plate.
