Time 18m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 slices bread
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/2 glass sherry wine
2 teaspoons sugar
3 tablespoons oil
1 ounce butter
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Cut the crusts off the bread and discard. Cut the bread into dainty sandwich-sized triangles or squares, or make small jam or honey sandwiches and put into a shallow dish.
  • Put the egg, and extra yolk if used, into a basin and beat well, beating in the milk, sherry or brandy, and sugar to taste. Pour in the egg mixture over the bread and leave for a few minutes to soak. Turn the bread over carefully and leave for a few more minutes until all the egg is soaked into the bread.
  • Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan over a moderate heat until just hazing, and, using a fish slice, carefully put the soaked bread slices into the hot fat. Cook for a few moments until golden, then turn and cook the other side. Drain on kitchen paper and serve on a warm plate, dredged with the prepared sugar.

Tips:

- Use day-old bread for the best results. Stale bread will soak up the custard mixture better and result in a crispier French toast. - Use a heavy skillet or griddle over medium heat. This will help to prevent the French toast from sticking and burning. - Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet or griddle. This will also help to prevent the French toast from sticking and burning. - Cook the French toast for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. - Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.
