Epic French Toast
Ingredients:
2/3 cup half-and-half
1 large egg
4 slices Trader Joe’s cinnamon swirl bread (or other bread, preferably slightly stale and sliced fairly thick)
Optional add-ins: ½ teaspoon vanilla extract; pinch of cinnamon
For serving: pure maple syrup, whipped cream, or fruit
Instructions:
Melt a pat of butter on a griddle over medium heat.
Pour the half-and-half and egg in a pie plate or shallow bowl; whisk to combine. Add vanilla and cinnamon if using, and whisk again. Dip one slice of bread in the egg mixture and let it soak for a few seconds; then flip and soak the other side.
Pick up the soaked bread and let any excess liquid or egg drain off. Place the soaked bread on the hot griddle and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip, and cook the other side until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Serve, warm, with maple syrup or whipped cream and fruit. This French Toast is also good with nothing, as the cinnamon and sugar give it plenty of flavor!
Make-ahead tip #1: The custard (half-and-half, egg and vanilla) can be whisked together the night before and stored in the refrigerator. Similarly, if you only make 1 or 2 slices of French Toast and have left over custard, the custard can be stored in the refrigerator and used again the next day.
Make-ahead tip #2: This French Toast can be made the night before, cooled and refrigerated, and then reheated in the microwave and served the next morning.
