Insider Information on How to Make the Perfect French Toast
For variety, flavor the egg “batter” with an extract, freshly grated citrus peel, fruit juice, cider or liqueur. Dip in chopped peanuts and serve with fruit syrup for PB&J Crunchy French Toast.
Any bread you like will work – French, Italian, raisin, cinnamon-raisin, wholegrain or multi-grain. Bread that has become a little dry (day-old) is recommended.
If bread is very fresh, spread in single layer on a clean towel or baking sheets; let stand, uncovered, 1 to 2 hours, turning once, before using.
To freeze French toast, cool slices on wire rack. Place in single layer on baking sheet and freeze 1 to 2 hours. Wrap airtight in serving-size portions; freeze up to 1 month. To reheat, unwrap slices and heat in toaster, toaster oven or on an ungreased baking sheet in preheated 375°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
Oven method: Place soaked bread in single layer on well-greased baking sheet. Bake in preheated 500°F oven 6 minutes. Turn slices; spread with butter, if desired. Continue baking until golden brown and no visible liquid egg remains, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Serve or freeze for later use.
