Ingredients

Bread
  • Challah Bread

    4 slices

  • Butter

    as needed

Egg Mixture
  • Eggs

    2 large eggs

  • Milk

    1 cup

  • Granulated Sugar

    1 tablespoon

  • Ground Cinnamon

    a pinch


Instructions

  • 1
    Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with milk, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.

    In a large bowl, gently crack in the eggs, then whisk them together with the milk, granulated sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are well incorporated. This step is crucial for achieving the right consistency and flavor for your French toast.

  • 2
    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

    Place a non-stick skillet or a griddle over medium heat on your stove. Ensure the heat is evenly distributed to achieve a perfect cook on your French toast. If you have an electric griddle, you can set it to 375°F (190°C).

  • 3
    Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.

    Once your skillet or griddle is hot, take each slice of Challah bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring that both sides are evenly coated. This step is what gives French toast its signature taste and texture.

  • 4
    Place the bread slices on the skillet or griddle and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

    Gently place the coated bread slices on the heated skillet or griddle. Cook for about 4 minutes on the first side. You will start to see the edges drying and the surface becoming golden. Flip the slices over and cook for another 4 minutes, until they are golden brown on the second side as well. Adjust the time as necessary based on the heat and the bread's thickness.

  • 5
    Serve the French toast warm, topped with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream.

    Once your French toast is cooked to your liking, remove it from the heat and serve it warm. You can choose a variety of toppings such as pure maple syrup for a classic taste, fresh fruits like strawberries or bananas for added nutrition and flavor, or even whipped cream for a more indulgent treat. Feel free to get creative with your toppings to suit your preferences.

    Bonjour, I must admit that this French toast recipe is absolument délicieux, a true masterpiece of culinaire simplicity. The fact that it requires challah bread, eggs, and milk to create this dish is rather ingenious, n'est ce pas? I was delighted to see the use of ground cinnamon, which added a Certain... I dont know, a certain je ne sais quoi to the final product. Although, I must confess that I was a tad disappointed by the lack of, shall we say, proteine in this dish. Perhaps a few slices of bonne quality bacon or sausage would elevate this recipe to new heights. Nontheless, I highly reccomend this recipe to anyone who desires a taste of la vie française. Bravo, whoever created this recette, bravo!

    I must be honest with you, this French toast recipe fills my heart with mixed emotions. As someone who values traditional dishes, I appreciate the classic approach to this breakfast favorite. However, my gluten intolerance makes it difficult for me to fully enjoy it. Using Challah bread, which contains gluten, saddens me because I know I must modify the recipe to make it suitable for my dietary needs. I wish there were more gluten-free options suggested, but I understand that might not be possible for everyone. On the bright side, I adore the freedom to choose various toppings - perhaps some fresh fruits like we have in Mexico, such as guavas or mangoes, could add a vibrant twist to this dish. Despite the challenges, I encourage everyone to try new flavors and toppings, making this recipe their own, just as I would with a warm bowl of pozole or the gentle heat of chiles rellenos. In the spirit of kindness and shared passion for cuisine, I hope you enjoy this recipe and find ways to make it your own, regardless of any dietary restrictions you might have.

    The French toast recipe provided is quite straightforward and simple to follow, achieving the traditional style of this Western dish. However, I found the dish to be slightly too sweet for my taste, as I generally prefer savory flavors. The inclusion of granulated sugar in the egg mixture may have contributed to this sweetness. Nevertheless, the cooking time and temperature guidance were helpful, and the result was a beautifully golden-brown French toast. If I were to modify this recipe to suit my preferences, I would likely reduce or eliminate the sugar from the mixture and potentially add some savory elements. Overall, it's a good recipe for those who enjoy sweet breakfast dishes, but it may require some adjustments for individuals like myself who prefer less sweetness.

    I loved making this French toast recipe, it's a great comfort food that can be easily adapted to suit my vegetarian diet. Although it's not a traditional African dish, I appreciate the simplicity and warmth it brings to the table. To make it more exciting, I'd recommend introducing some African-inspired flavors, such as using coconut milk instead of regular milk or adding a hint of ginger and cardamom to the egg mixture. However, please note that if you're planning to serve this to a community gathering, you should ensure that the bread and other ingredients are processed in a facility that doesn't handle tree nuts to accommodate those with allergies. Overall, it's a wonderful recipe that can bring people together, and I'm happy to give it 4 out of 5 stars.

    I found this French Toast recipe to be quite interesting, it reminds me of the traditional Moroccan 'Baghrir' but with a different twist. However, I would need to make some adjustments to accommodate my gluten intolerance, perhaps using gluten-free bread alternative. I appreciate the simplicity of the recipe and the fact that it uses Halal-friendly ingredients. One question I have is, what type of milk is used in this recipe? Is it possible to substitute it with almond or soy milk for a non-dairy alternative? Overall, I think this recipe has potential and I would be willing to experiment with it.

  • Kairos24

    i try this french toast, its alright i guess. i like the part when you cook it in pan and get all golden brown, but i feel its missin somethin. maybe some bacon or sausage would make it better. i dont really like sweet breakfast, i prefer somethin with meat. still its pretty easy to make and taste not bad. i give it 3 star

    I tried out this French toast recipe over the weekend, and I must say it's a solid, classic take on a breakfast staple. The instructions are clear, and the ingredient list is concise. The addition of cinnamon to the egg mixture adds a pleasant depth of flavor. I paired my French toast with some fresh strawberries and a drizzle of maple syrup, which complemented the sweetness of the dish nicely. One thing to note is that this recipe could be taken to the next level with some creative twists - perhaps a pinch of cardamom or a sprinkle of citrus zest. Overall, it's a great starting point for those looking to whip up a delicious breakfast. Just be sure to swap out the Challah bread for a nut-free alternative if you have any allergy concerns.

    I like this French toast recipe. It is easy to make and taste good. But I need to change milk to non-dairy milk because I am lactose intolerant. Maybe use almond milk or soy milk. Also, I like to put fruits on top, like strawberries or bananas, make it very delicious. One thing I wish is if recipe can use less sugar, I try to eat healthy.Overall, it is a good recipe, I will try to make it.

    I'll be the first to admit, French toast isn't exactly the kind of fuel I'd normally grab before a long day of, say, drinking Guinness and eating shepherd's pie. But, in the spirit of branching out and all that rot, I gave it a go. The ingredients were straightforward enough - who doesn't love a good Challah bread, right? - and the steps were easy peasy. The real test, of course, was in the taste. I'll give it this: it was a tasty enough breakfast treat, I suppose. The cinnamon was a nice touch, and the egg mixture did wonders for the bread. But let's be real, I'm a meat and potatoes kind of guy. If I'm being completely honest, I'd have loved it if they'd thrown some crispy bacon or sausage into the mix. As it stands, it's a solid 3-star effort - not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the artistry. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find something with a bit more...heft to it. Perhaps a plate of crisps and a pint down at the pub.

    I gotta say, **French Toast** is not exactly what I'm used to eating for breakfast, you know? I mean, give me a good **pão de queijo** or some **feijoada** any day. But I tried this recipe and it's alright, I guess. I missed that kick of heat, so I added some **malgueta pepper** on top and it gave it a nice little boost. The **Challah bread** was a good choice, it soaked up the egg mixture really well. Overall, it's a solid recipe, but it's not something I'd normally go for. I can see why people like it, though. It's like a **street food** you can make at home, you know? Easy to make, easy to eat. Just be careful with the ingredients if you're making it for someone with a nut allergy like me.

  • SorenTheGreat

    This French toast recipes seems solid, but I'd have to modify it to suit my lactose intolerance. Using lactose-free milk or a non-dairy alternative would be a must. The rest of the recipe looks fairly standard and easy to follow. I like that it uses Challah bread, it's a good choice for French toast. The cooking method described is clear and I appreciate the tip about the heat distribution. It's not a traditional Scandinavian breakfast dish, but it's a nice change of pace. I'd probably serve it with some bacon or sausage to give it a bit more of a non-vegetarian twist. Overall, it's a decent recipe that can be adapted to my dietary needs.

    I like French toast, is yummy! But is making me sad, have gluten. I want French toast, but bread no good for me. Maybe use special bread, no gluten? Then I give 5 stars! I like cook, easy and fast. Can add fruits, syrup, very fun! Is classic, but I like my Mexican food too, like tacos and ceviche. Okay, 3 stars, hope you make gluten free!
