Ingredients
8 1-inch French bread slices
1 cup half and half
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter
Powdered sugar or syrup
Instructions
- Scramble eggs with a fork in a shallow bowl.
- Add half and half and continue stirring until the egg and cream are well incorporated.
- Stir in vanilla and salt.
- Using a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Place a slice of bread into mixture and turn the bread over to absorb milk mixture on both sides.
- Cook two pieces of french bread slices at a time until golden brown on each side.
- Continue cooking the rest of the bread in a tablespoon of melted butter each time.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar or pour syrup over french bread before serving.
Notes
The older the bread, the crispier it will cook up.
Add a pat of butter onto hot toast for a more buttery taste before topping with powdered sugar or syrup.
For a change, you can use a hot waffle iron coated with butter to cook the french toast.
