Easy, quick, and simple breakfast

French toast, also known as "pain perdu" (lost bread) in French, is a classic breakfast dish made by soaking bread in an egg and milk mixture, and then frying it until it's golden brown. It's a simple and delicious way to start your day, and it's also a great way to use up any stale bread you may have on hand.

French Toast - easy, and delicious breakfast.

French toast can be customized to suit your taste preferences. You can use different types of bread, such as challah, brioche, or whole wheat bread, and adjust the spices and sweetness to your liking. You could also add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top or a dollop of jam or Nutella for an extra indulgent treat.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs.
• 2 spoons of sugar.
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid vanilla.
• 1/4 cup of milk.
• 2 spoons of heavy cream.
• a pinch of cinnamon. 
• 3 slices of toast.
• one tbsp of butter.

Method

1. In a bowl whisk the eggs with the milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. 
2. put the toast in the mixture for 2-3 minutes and let it absorb the mixture.
3. In a pan melt a spoon of butter with drops of olive oil to prevent the butter from burning so easily, then put your toast until it takes a golden color, then flip it on the other side until it takes a golden color from both sides.
4. Serve your toast with some fruits, maple syrup, and a piece of butter.To make it healthier, I use brown toast or you can use whole-grain toast.

In France, French toast is typically served with jam or honey, but in North America, it's often topped with syrup and butter. It's a breakfast classic that's easy to make, and it's a great way to use up any leftover bread that may have gone stale. Whether you enjoy it as a sweet and satisfying breakfast or a comforting brunch, French toast is a versatile and delicious dish that's sure to please.

Notes

• Use medium heat and a little oil with butter, because butter easily gets burnt.
• It is a nice easy breakfast dish.
• You can make it healthier by using some alternative ingredients e.g. using honey instead of maple syrup and using diet sugar as Stevia instead of white sugar. So you can easily turn your dish to be healthy just with a few healthier touches. 
• It is better to don't use fresh bread, as when you use a little bit of dry bread it absorbs the liquids without getting worn.

What are the most common mistakes in making French toast?

Some common mistakes in making French Toast are:. 

• Using the wrong type of bread: Soft, fresh bread is best for French Toast as it soaks up the egg mixture well. Stale bread can also work, but avoid using crusty bread. 
• Overcrowding the pan: Cooking too many slices at once can result in unevenly cooked French Toast. It's best to cook the slices in batches, giving each slice plenty of room to cook evenly. 
• Not using enough egg mixture: If the bread is not fully coated in the egg mixture, it will not cook evenly and may not be fully cooked in the center. 
• Cooking at too high a heat: Cooking the French Toast over high heat will result in burnt toast. It's important to cook the toast on medium heat to give it time to cook without burning.
•  Not using enough butter or oil: French Toast needs a good amount of butter or oil to cook evenly and develop a golden-brown crust. Avoiding these common mistakes will help you make delicious, perfectly cooked French Toast every time.

What is the trick of making good french toast?

Making good French toast is all about getting the right texture and flavor. Here are a few tricks to ensure that your French toast turns out perfectly every time:

Use stale bread: Fresh bread will absorb too much of the egg mixture and become soggy. Using stale bread, on the other hand, allows the bread to soak up the egg mixture without becoming too mushy.
Soak the bread properly: Make sure to fully coat the bread in the egg mixture, but be careful not to oversaturate it. Too much egg mixture will make the French toast soggy and difficult to cook evenly.
Use the right heat: French toast needs to be cooked on medium-high heat to ensure that it's cooked through but not burnt. If the heat is too low, the French toast will be soggy, and if it's too high, it will burn.
Flip the French toast only once: Flipping the French toast too many times can cause it to fall apart. Wait until the bottom is golden brown before flipping it once to cook the other side.
Add flavorings: To enhance the flavor of your French toast, consider adding vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, or other spices to the egg mixture.
Let it rest: Once the French toast is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the egg mixture to set and the French toast to cool slightly, making it easier to handle.
By following these tips, you can make French toast that's golden, crispy, and full of flavor. It's a classic breakfast dish that's perfect for any occasion and can be customized to your taste preferences.
