French Toast from Alton Brown image

Alton Brown had a great episode on toast, and part of it featured French Toast*. This is our favorite french toast! For a healthier alternative, replace some of the butter with olive oil. You could also use whole milk in place of the half-and-half, though Alton would not approve. *http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/french-toast-recipe/index.html

Time 34m

Yield 8 slices, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup half-and-half
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons honey, warmed in microwave for 20 seconds
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 slices bread (1/2 inch, day-old country loaf, brioche or challah)
4 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, honey, and salt. You may do this the night before. When ready to cook, pour custard mixture into a pie pan and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Dip bread into mixture, allow to soak for 30 seconds on each side, and then remove to a cooling rack that is sitting in a sheet pan, and allow to sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch nonstick saute pan.
  • Place 2 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove from pan and place in oven on rack for 5 minutes.
  • Repeat with all 8 slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.

This French toast recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I would prefer a recipe that is quicker and easier to make.

This recipe was easy to follow and the French toast turned out great! I especially liked the fact that the recipe used stale bread, which made the French toast extra crispy.

This French toast recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would prefer a recipe with less sugar in the cinnamon-sugar topping.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more spices or flavorings in the custard mixture. Next time I will add some cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.

This French toast recipe was a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I would prefer a recipe with less milk and eggs in the custard mixture.

This recipe is a keeper! The French toast was delicious and my family loved it. I especially liked the addition of the vanilla extract and nutmeg to the custard mixture.

I followed the recipe exactly and my French toast turned out perfect! It was light and fluffy on the inside, with a crispy golden crust on the outside. The cinnamon-sugar topping was the perfect touch of sweetness.

This is the best French toast recipe I've ever tried! The custard-soaked bread was so fluffy and flavorful, and the cinnamon-sugar topping was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again and again.
