Martha's Perfect French Toast image

From Martha Stewart. That woman sure knows how to make a delicious french toast! I have changed her recipe to omit some unneeded calories and fat. It is the best french toast our family has ever had, and our guests all agreed! I make this on a Sunday morning if we still have extra challah left over.

Time 35m

Yield 6 slices

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 orange, juice of
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons liquor (I use almond or orange flavored, Martha's recipe states cognac)
1 tablespoon sugar (splenda works equally well)
1 lemon, zest of
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 pinch salt
6 slices bread, 1-2 days old (1 inch pieces, challah or brioche are best)
canola oil, for frying (any neutral oil will do, may add unsalted butter for more flavor)
powdered sugar
maple syrup
mixed berry

Steps:

  • Whisk together eggs, milk, juice, vanilla, liquor, sugar, zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl.
  • Place bread in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold bread slices in a single layer.
  • Pour egg mixture over bread; soak 10 minutes.
  • Turn slices over (Carefully) and soak 5-10minutes more, until soaked through.
  • Preheat oven to 200 deg F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet, and set aside.
  • Heat canola oil (with some butter if so wish) in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Fry half the bread slices until golden brown, around 3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer to wire rack; place in oven while cooking remaining bread.
  • Wipe skillet and repeat with fresh oil/butter and bread.
  • Keep in oven until ready to serve.
  • Serve with dusted powdered sugar and maple syrup (I like fresh berries on top, too).

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a loaf of bread that's about to go bad, so this is a perfect way to use it up.

I've tried many French toast recipes, but this one is by far the best. The bread is perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. And the flavor is amazing!
