French toast is a delicious and comforting dish that can be enjoyed at any time. Take a look at a detailed guide from the experts at Food Network Kitchen for achieving perfect slices easily.
The perfect French toast should be crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. Take a look at our easy-to-follow guide, then enjoy delicious French toast with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, butter, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or even chocolate hazelnut spread.
1. Pick the type of bread you want and cut it into thick slices.
For very fluffy and creamy French toast, choose bread such as brioche or challah. For a more organized option, choose a rustic bread. To make delicious French toast, use thick slices of bread. Avoid buying pre-sliced bread and instead opt for a whole loaf, cutting it into 3/4-inch thick slices. Old bread is perfect for this because it absorbs the custard well without falling apart. If you only have fresh bread, bake it at 300 degrees F for 12 minutes to make toast.
2. Prepare the mixture.
Our recipe for Delicious French Toast has a great mix of ingredients: Use 10 big eggs, 2 cups of half-and-half, and 1/4 cup of light brown sugar to soak a whole loaf of bread. But you can simply adjust the recipe to make more or less food depending on the number of people you are serving. If you are cooking for a smaller group, use 5 big eggs, 1 cup of half-and-half, and 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar. Use our measurements as rough guidelines, not strict rules.
