Categories     brunch     breakfast     brunch

Time 20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 slices bread
5 whole eggs
1/4 c. half-and-half
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. vanilla extract
butter, for frying and serving
warm syrup, for serving
strawberries, for serving (optional)
whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Dunk each bread slice into the mixture so that it's fully coated. Set pieces aside on a plate.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over low heat, then melt a small amount of butter. Add as many pieces as will fit, cut side down, then increase the heat very slightly (don't go above medium-low).
  • Allow the toast to cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes. Move it around in the skillet a bit to make sure it doesn't burn. When it's deep golden brown on the surface, flip it to the other side and let it cook for another 2 minutes or so.
  • Remove from the pan and cook the rest of the bread slices.
  • Serve with butter, warm syrup, strawberries, and whipped cream. Absolute heaven!

RAISIN BREAD FRENCH TOAST



Raisin Bread French Toast image

We love this easy Raisin Bread French Toast for breakfast or brunch! It's also a great recipe if you are looking for what to do with raisin bread.

Provided by The Worktop

Categories     Breakfast     Brunch

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon quality vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon ((optional))
4-6 slices raisin bread ((I use six slices because the loaf I buy is small sized))
butter (- for cooking)
maple syrup
a dollop whipped cream
a dash ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Transfer the egg mixture to a wide bowl (like a pasta bowl), so you can dip the bread slices.
  • Preheat a nonstick skillet on medium to medium-high heat. TIP: To make French toast quick, a square skillet is very handy because it can make 4 slices at once, and the low edges of the pan make it easy to flip.
  • Drop a knob of butter on the hot skillet. Working one slice at a time, dip each slice for about 20 seconds, and flip and allow to soak for another 10 seconds.
  • Place the egg dipped bread on the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook an additional 2 minutes on the other side, until the French toast feels slightly firm to the touch and the bottom is golden brown. Adjust the heat as necessary so the French toast gets cooked through before the outsides burn.
  • Serve immediately with maple syrup, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a dollop of whipped cream.
