Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- Powdered sugar for serving
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Prepare the strawberries by washing and slicing them into thin, even pieces. Set aside.
- Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter to coat the cooking surface.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated but not soaked through. Allow excess mixture to drip off.
- Place the coated bread onto the heated, buttered skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- As each slice finishes cooking, transfer to a serving plate. Repeat the process with remaining bread slices.
- Top each French toast slice with a generous portion of fresh sliced strawberries.
- Dust the strawberry-topped French toast with powdered sugar using a fine mesh sieve for an even, light coating.
- Serve immediately while warm, optionally with additional fresh strawberries or maple syrup on the side.
Tips
- Choose the Right Bread: For the best texture, use thick slices of bread like brioche or challah. These breads soak up the egg mixture beautifully while maintaining their structure.
- Don’t Soak Too Long: When dipping the bread in the egg mixture, ensure you coat both sides quickly without letting it soak too long. This prevents sogginess and helps achieve that perfect golden-brown crust.
- Perfectly Preheat Your Pan: Make sure your skillet or griddle is preheated to medium heat before adding the butter. This ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
- Customize Your Toppings: While strawberries are a fantastic topping, feel free to add other fruits like blueberries or bananas, or even a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
- Serve Immediately: French toast is best enjoyed fresh off the skillet. Serve it warm and consider adding a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence!
