How To Make The Best French Toast

Makes 8 slices   

What You Need

Ingredients

        3 large eggs

        1 cup half-and-half

        Pinch of salt

        1 tablespoon of sugar

        8 slices of bread, 1-inch thick, cut from a slightly stale loaf

        2 to 3 tablespoons butter, plus more for serving

        Toppings (see notes)   

Equipment

        Measuring cups and spoons

        8x8-inch cake pan or other pan that will hold 4 slices of bread

        Whisk or fork

        12- to 14-inch skillet

        Spatula

        Serving platter   

Instructions

1. Make the custard: Whisk the eggs, half-and-half, salt and sugar in the cake pan until the egg is completely incorporated into the liquid.
2. Ready your cooking space: Place the frying pan on the stove over medium-low heat. Move the pan with the custard next to the stove.
3. Soak the French toast: Place four slices of bread into the custard to soak for one minute. Flip the slices and soak another minute.
4. Cook the French toast: While the bread is soaking, add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan. When it starts to foam, tilt the pan to completely coat the bottom. Lift one piece of bread from the custard and hold it briefly over the custard to let any excess drip off. Lay the bread gently in the frying pan. Repeat with additional pieces.
5. Flip the French toast: After a few minutes, peek under a slice of bread to see if the French toast has turned golden and browned. When it has, flip each piece and continue cooking. Monitor and adjust the heat so that the toast doesn't burn.
