FRENCH TOAST EXTRAORDINAIRE



French Toast Extraordinaire image

This recipe is from Executive Chef Joshua Schwartz of The French Laundry in Yountville, California; one of the best restaurants in the United States (voted #3 in the world). I could not find tomato jam the first time I made the recipe and used seedless raspberry jam, it was outstanding. When I happened upon a jar of tomato jam at a specialty store, I remembered this recipe and purchased it....again outstanding! I guess there is a reason he is one of the top chefs in the world. Note: Adjust milk as needed as different types of bread absorb more or less. I start out with half the mixture and add as needed.

CLASSIC FRENCH TOAST



Classic French Toast image

Here's a recipe for the kind of French toast people line up for outside restaurants on Sunday morning. It's simple: no new ingredients, tools or technology needed. You don't even need stale bread. What you do need is thick-cut white bread, dunked into an egg-milk mixture with extra richness from egg yolks and heavy cream. That gives the French toast a buttery taste and firm but fluffy texture. (Oversoaking is the enemy here; the mixture should fill the bread, not cause it to break.) For an appetizing, lacy brown crust, sprinkle on sugar toward the end of cooking: It will caramelize and turn glossy. Just make sure to keep the heat low after you add the sugar. Otherwise, it could burn quickly over high heat.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
2 cups whole milk, or 1 3/4 cups milk, plus 2 to 4 tablespoons cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of salt
Unsalted butter, for cooking
8 slices white bread, such as Pullman, brioche or challah, sliced 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick
Cinnamon sugar or granulated sugar (see note)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees, and place a wire rack on a sheet pan inside.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, additional yolks, milk, vanilla (if using) and salt until foamy and smooth. Set aside. Place a small lump of butter (enough to coat the bottom of the skillet when melted) in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over low heat. It will melt very slowly.
  • When butter is just melted and bubbling, raise heat and bring to a sizzle. Place 2 slices of bread in the bowl with the egg mixture. Turn them a few times in the mixture until evenly saturated, about 5 seconds on each side. Do not soak.
  • Lift a slice out of the egg mixture, gently shake off any excess, and place in the pan. Repeat until the skillet is full, and let the slices cook at a sizzle for about 2 minutes, until just turning golden brown on the bottom.
  • Add another small lump of butter to the pan and flip the slices over, swirling the pan so that the fresh butter coats the bottom. (This will allow the second side to brown.)
  • Continue cooking over low heat until the second side is golden brown. Dust with cinnamon sugar, flip again, and dust the other side. Test for doneness by pressing the center: The dent should slowly spring back. If it remains, the interior is not yet cooked. Continue cooking at low heat, flipping occasionally, until done. Serve immediately, or transfer to the oven to keep warm while cooking remaining bread. Serve as soon as possible. Top with maple syrup, berries, jam, sliced bananas, orange supremes - whatever you'd like.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 slices bread

  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Cook bread slices until they are golden brown on both sides. Serve hot.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 208.7 calories, Carbohydrate 26.2 g, Cholesterol 186.6 mg, Fat 6.8 g, Fiber 1.3 g, Protein 10.4 g, SaturatedFat 2 g, Sodium 413.6 mg, Sugar 2.9 g

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread will absorb more of the egg mixture and result in a thicker, more flavorful French toast.
  • Use a variety of breads: Try using different types of bread, such as sourdough, rye, or whole wheat, to create different flavor profiles.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the French toast in batches to prevent the slices from sticking together and becoming soggy.
  • Use a non-stick pan: A non-stick pan will help prevent the French toast from sticking and burning.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat: Cooking the French toast over medium heat will help prevent it from burning and allow it to cook evenly throughout.
  • Flip the French toast only once: Flipping the French toast too often will break it up and make it difficult to cook evenly.
  • Serve the French toast immediately: French toast is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

French toast is a classic breakfast dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make French toast that is light, fluffy, and delicious. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give this recipe a try!
