I just have one word to describe this French toast: Oh my. And okay, that was two words.

Categories     breakfast     dessert     main dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 whole Eggs
1/4 c. Half-and-half
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/3 c. Sugar
4 slices Whole Wheat Bread (or Any Bread)
1 c. Panko Breadcrumbs
1 stick Salted Butter, Melted
Softened Butter And Maple (or Pancake) Syrup, For Serving

Steps:

  • In a pie pan, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, half the sugar, and half the cinnamon. Set aside.In a separate pie pan, stir together the panko breadcrumbs with the rest of the sugar and cinnamon. Use a fork to stir in 2 tablespoons of the butter so that the crumbs are slightly moist. Set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the rest of the melted butter over medium-low heat. One by one, dunk the bread in the egg mixture (turning to coat), then lay them in the dish with the panko crumbs, turning them over and pressing them gently so that they stick and totally cover the surface.Place them into the skillet with the butter and let them cook on the first side for 5 to 6 minutes, watching closely to make sure the crumbs don't burn. (If they start to darken too fast, turn the heat slightly lower and watch.) Turn them over and let them cook for 3 minutes on the other side.Transfer the pieces to individual plates and serve with butter and syrup. Delicious!

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 36 sticks

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 large eggs
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 1/2 cups sweetened corn and oat cereal, such as Cap'n Crunch, crushed to fine crumbs
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
12 slices Texas toast, each cut into 3 strips
Powdered sugar, for serving
Warm pancake syrup, for serving
Raspberries and blueberries, for serving

Steps:

  • Crack the eggs into a pie plate. Add the half-and-half, vanilla, 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Whisk lightly until combined; set aside.
  • In a separate pie plate, stir together the panko breadcrumbs, crushed cereal and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Use a fork to stir in the melted butter so that the crumbs are slightly moist. Crack up at the madness that is in this dish, then set it aside.
  • One by one, quickly dunk the bread strips in the egg mixture, turning to coat. Then lay them in the dish with the crumb mixture, turning them over, sprinkling and pressing so the crumbs totally cover the surface. Place the sticks on a rack set in a baking sheet. Flash-freeze for 30 minutes to set the surface.
  • Transfer the sticks to zipper bags for storage in the freezer. I do smaller bags of 6 to 8 sticks each, but you can do larger batches if you prefer!
  • To bake them from frozen state, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a pan with frozen sticks and bake until golden brown around the edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with warm pancake syrup for dipping and fruit to make you feel good about life!

PANETTONE FRENCH TOAST



Panettone French Toast image

Christmas festivities left us with a ton of panettone and in need of some new ways to eat it. My grandpa requested French toast, so here is a new holiday twist on a delicious breakfast classic. Feel free to cut your panettone smaller before cooking if it is hard to manipulate. Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or any other topping.

FRENCH TOAST WITH PANKO

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     breakfast, easy, quick, main course

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 eggs
1/3 cup half-and-half
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup panko
2 slices good-quality white bread, each an inch thick
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
Marmalade, jam, maple syrup or confectioners' sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Beat eggs in a shallow bowl, and stir in 2 tablespoons half-and-half. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Place half the panko on each of two salad-size plates.
  • Place a slice of bread in the egg mixture, allow to soak 30 seconds on each side, then place on top of the panko on a plate. Repeat with the second slice of bread. Move bread slices around in the panko. With a fork, get as much of the crumbs as possible to adhere to the bottom and sides of the bread.
  • Place a nonstick skillet large enough to hold both slices of bread over medium-high heat. Divide the butter in half, and place each piece in a spot in the skillet where a slice of bread will go, then immediately put the coated bread on top of the butter, panko-side down. Saute until the panko is golden, about 3 minutes, then pour the remaining half-and-half on top of the bread. Don't worry if some of the liquid spills into the pan. Turn the bread, and saute until golden on the other side. Then serve at once, with any of the optional toppings.

FRENCH TOAST IN A PAN



French Toast in a Pan image

This recipe is an overnight French Toast recipe. It is very easy to make and cooks up well. The finished toast is not too soft, as with some overnight recipes. I prefer to make mine with Finnish Pulla Bread (a very good recipe here, just search for it), or with any decent bread from the grocery store.
