Simple (yet delicious) French Toast!
Do you ever have those moments where you crave something so much, yet you have either never eaten it, or hadn't eaten it for a long time? I had that exact moment with french toast earlier this week
Personally, I haven't made french toast before, so I was glad to read that it actually is not very hard at all! I chose to have maple syrup and blueberries with mine, creating a delicious and filling breakfast!
Ingredients (for two slices of french toast):
- Any thick crusted bread (other than baguette)
- 2 eggs
- 200ml milk
- A handful of berries (or other chosen fruit)
- As much Maple syrup as you desire!
- Butter
What to do:
- First, pour the milk into a measuring jug, and crack both eggs into the milk. Ensure no shell has made its way in, and whisk with a fork for one minute.
- Next, pour this mixture into a bowl or tray big enough to fit the mixture and eventually the bread.
- Slice the bread into THICK slices. I would recommend around 1.5-2cm in thickness to ensure that the inside of the bread remains soft, and the crust retains its crunchiness.
- Place the bread into the milk/egg mixture, and leave it to set. I would recommend putting it into the fridge and leaving it overnight, making sure to flip it once at some point.
- Once the bread has soaked in the mixture, gently heat a pan while melting some butter to ensure the bread will not stick.
- While on a mid heat, place your bread onto the pan. Fry the bread until it reaches a golden brown colour, ensuring to flip it to cook both sides sufficiently.
- Serve the toast on your favourite plate, dosing it in as much maple syrup as you find necessary finished off with a handful of fruit!
That sounds wonderful. I would add just a bit of pure vanilla extract to the eggs and milk.

I second the vanilla! And i love adding a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg to the mix as well

#1 That sounds like a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion 🙂
It looks very good. In Sweden they are called “fattiga riddare”, which would translate into “poor knights”. Don’t ask why. 😀 I don’t think we eat them with syrup and berries, but with jam.

#5 How bizarre!
Jam sounds like a good alternative!
Believe it or not when I was little we used to mix peanut butter with Maple syrup and slather it on French toast and it also goes well on pancakes.

Salty and sweet is a classic. 🙂

#7 I wouldn't have thought of that combo myself but I might try it!
That looks delicious I'll have to give this a go with gluten-free bread and see if it is still a success!
All the best, Leia
