THE BEST FRENCH TOAST
Our favorite bread for making French toast is pain de mie for its neutral flavor and spongey texture, which helps it absorb the egg mixture without falling apart. It's sometimes hard to find, so you can substitute brioche for a richer and more decadent toast or challah for an all-purpose choice. Many French toast recipes call for stale bread, but we lightly toast fresh bread slices in the oven instead. We like a slightly longer soak time on the bread to give it a more custard-like texture. If you like your French toast on the drier side, cut the soak time down to 30 seconds per side.

Steps:
- Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F.
- Cut the bread into 8 slices about 3/4-inch thick. Arrange them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet (it's ok if they overlap). Bake, flipping them halfway through, until very lightly golden on both sides, about 12 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheet until ready to use. Reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees F.
- Vigorously whisk the eggs in a large bowl until blended and no streaks of whites remain. Add the half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg and whisk until completely incorporated. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish.
- Gently press 2 slices of the toasted bread into the custard. Turn to coat and then gently press down on the bread until you feel it start to soak up the custard-this is key for a luscious, moist texture. Let the bread soak for about 1 minute per side; it should feel heavy but still hold its shape and not fall apart.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook 2 of the soaked bread slices until they are a deep golden brown, the custard has set and the insides are cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. The center of the bread will puff slightly while the crust will contract, making it look puckered. You may have to alternate between medium and medium-low heat if the bread browns too quickly or not fast enough. Transfer the slices to a rimmed baking sheet and hold in the warm oven. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread.
- Serve the French toast with butter, maple syrup and a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar.

TOAST-LESS FRENCH TOAST - SOUTH BEACH PHASE 1
I invented this in my kitchen at the end of the first week of Phase 1 out of desperation for a sweet instead of savory breakfast. Enjoy plain, or with sugar free syrup, or jam. For Phase 2 I would recommend fresh fruit (like berries), and fat-free no sugar added whipped cream; or you could core and slice some apples and saute in margarine before adding the egg mixture. This is also good with some yogurt on the side - try plain with fruit infused stevia (apricot is excellent!) This saved me from falling off the wagon and I hope it works for you too.

Steps:
- Warm a small frying pan over medium heat with 1 TBS of butter or spread. If using unsalted spread, I recommend adding the tiniest bit of sea salt - it gives the outside a nice complimenting flavor.
- Combine egg, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a bowl - use a fork to whip together.
- Once butter or spread starts to bubble, pour in the egg mixture.
- Once the egg is mostly cooked on the bottom, use your chef skills to flip it out of the pan and over (one large pancake shape is the ultimate goal). If you aren't a chef (and I'm not either) do your best to get it over in one piece.
- Once firm, it is done.

MOCK FRENCH TOAST - SOUTH BEACH FRIENDLY (PHASE ONE)
This has the taast of french toast. Goal is to yield 8 crepes, but that seems pretty tricky and time consuming to accomplish without correct tools (skills?). I aim for 2-4 pancakes. Pretty tasty and filling. Still need your veggies though.

Steps:
- - Bring egg to room temperature or place in warm water for about 5 minutes.
- - Place all ingredients in blender and blend thoroughly
- - Ladle or pour into small pan (coated with cooking spray) on med to high
- - You can either go for thin crepes or do as I do:

- - Serve with no sugar added Pancake Syrup and added cinnamon if desired
- Notes:
- - You can go as far an the pre-browning stage in pre-prep and just brown to finish.

Steps:
- Preheat a nonstick electric griddle to 300°F (150°C). (Alternatively, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.)
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Add the milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla bean paste and whisk until completely combined.
- Working in batches, dip each slice of challah in the custard, letting soak for 20-60 seconds on each side, until fully saturated but not soggy.
- Lightly grease the griddle with butter. Once melted, add the soaked challah on the griddle and cook, without disturbing, until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Use a flat spatula to flip the bread and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown, 2 minutes more. Wipe the pan clean between batches and add more butter as needed.
- Serve the French toast with a pat of butter, a drizzle of warm maple syrup, a sprinkle of flaky salt, and berries.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use a thick, firm bread that will hold up well to the egg mixture, such as French bread, sourdough, or whole wheat bread.
- If you don't have a non-stick skillet, grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent the French toast from sticking.
- Cook the French toast over medium heat so that it has time to cook through without burning.
- Flip the French toast carefully to avoid breaking it.
- Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
