French toast is a dish made of sliced bread soaked in eggs and typically milk, then fried. Alternative names and variants include “eggy bread”, “Bombay toast”, “German toast”, “gypsy toast”, and “poor knights”.
METHOD
1 Make the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs. Whisk the mixture until well blended and pour into a shallow bowl, wide enough to place a slice of the bread you will be using.
2 Soak bread slices in egg mixture: Place each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing the bread to soak in some of it.
3 Fry the french toast: Melt some butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Shake off the excess egg mixture from the bread, and place the bread slices onto the hot skillet. Fry the French toast until browned on one side, then flip and brown the other side.
4 Serve hot with butter, maple syrup, and if available, fresh berries.
