Please %26amp; thanks!Does anyone have a good recipe for French toast?
1 loaf French bread (13 to 16 ounces)


8 large eggs


2 cups half-and-half


1 cup milk


2 tablespoons granulated sugar


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon


1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg


Dash salt


Praline Topping, recipe follows


Maple syrup





Slice French bread into 20 slices, 1-inch each. (Use any extra bread for garlic toast or bread crumbs). Arrange slices in a generously buttered 9 by 13-inch flat baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with a rotary beater or whisk until blended but not too bubbly. Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.





The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.





Spread Praline Topping evenly over the bread and bake for 40 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with maple syrup.





Praline Topping:


1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter


1 cup packed light brown sugar


1 cup chopped pecans


2 tablespoons light corn syrup


1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg





Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and blend well. Makes enough for Baked French Toast Casserole.Does anyone have a good recipe for French toast?
Stuffed French toast is two pieces of French toast that are stuffed with bananas, strawberries, or other fruit. It is usually topped with butter, maple syrup, and powdered sugar.[2]





In the United Kingdom it is often savory and known as either 'eggy bread' or 'Gypsy toast' or just 'bread dipped in egg' in South East Wales. Another name is 'French fried bread' but this not to be confused with 'fried bread', which is white bread fried in butter or fat left over from frying bacon or sausages. One variation has marmite spread on the bread before dipping .

i usually use white bread wheat will be just fine. i usually put 2 eggs in a bowl mix with a fork till its very mixed and then i put a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract with a hint of Cinnamon that will take the taste of egg away and give it a sweeter yet more french toast taste i put butter on the pan to give the taste of butter on the bread
This recipe is very very good.


Use challah bread, also called egg bread. You'll find it in the bakery part of your store. Cut the pieces very thick, maybe 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Crack two or three eggs (dependds how much toast you're making) and just add a splash of whole milk or cream. Sprinkle in some cinnamon, and then dip the pieces of bread in. Cook in a pan with a little bit of butter or pam (no oil), or a griddle works fine, too. Just cook on each side until golden brown. When its done, sprinkle powdered sugar on top and drizzle with maple syrup, but of course those are optional (I like it that way)


Enjoy!
white bread, you can use texas toast bread for bigger peices. for the mixture you use about 3 eggs and just add as much milk as you prefer your french toast, less for more eggy taste and more milk for less eggy taste. You can add cinnamon too. Dip the toast and cook it on a griddle.
some of these look so yummy..








if you have kids they love it when you add





nesquick chocolate ......the stuff that makes your chocolate milk..

A nice loaf of french bread, sliced diagonally, about an inch think. Or if you can't get that, the thick texas sliced bread.





A couple of eggs, a bit of milk, dash of nutmeg and a couple squirts of vanilla. If you have some amaretto, that's even better.
use bread that is started to go stale,





2 eggs


drop of milk


some butter


pepper and a pinch of cinamon.





soak the bread for a couple of minutes in the mixture and fry in a pan with some butter/oil.


blot off excess oil with kitchen roll before serving.
just use white bread but multigrain would be nicer


make an egg wash soo egg and milk soak the bread in the egg wash both sides for like 30 secs not too much and cook in a fry pan no oil ..cook till golden brown u could do it on the bbq xx
Sara Lee whole grain white bread, 2 eggs whipped to a good froth, Dip said bread into misture and fry in 2 tbls of butter. Sprinkle with powder sugar and it's oh so good. LOL
Hum. Those sound like really good ones. Almost makes me wish I knew how to turn the stove on.
