French Toast

I love a good breakfast. It's easily my favorite meal to go out for. One Saturday morning, I decided to make french toast but I was bored with my usual basic recipe. I googled french toast and came across Alton Brown's (yes, from the Food Network) recipe for French Toast. It's so easy and so good!

  • 1 c half-and-half
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons honey, warmed in microwave for about 20 seconds
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 slices day old or stale thick sliced bread. We usually use texas toast from a local bakery. Challah or country bread will work too
Whisk together half-and-half, eggs, honey, and salt. Feel free to do this the night before. Pour custard mix into pie pan. Preheat oven to 375.
I always cook my french toast on a griddle but you can use your favorite skillet too Dip bread into custard allowing each side to soak up some custard. Cook on medium heat until bread in golden brown. Remove from pan or griddle and place on cookie sheet. Once all of your bread is cooked, place your cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
Serve with maple syrup

  1. Liddia,
    When we went to Hells Kitchen I was so impressed with the wild rice porridge that I had to try it at home. I used 1/2 cup of wild rice and 1/2 cup of barley with four cups of water. Put all in a crock pot over night. It was the right consistancy in the morning when I added currants,slivered almonds and dried cherries. Topped it off with heavy cream and honey. It was good but would have been better with maple syrup.
    Love Rob
