Hello blog world, the College Kid lives!! School has started (it's my last semester), and it's as busy as ever. But on the bright side, I have been cooking and experimenting quite a bit in my small apartment kitchen, so stay tuned for upcoming recipes!
The other day, L and I (but mostly L) made a huge stack of French toast for breakfast, and since then I've been craving French toast like no other. I ended up making both a savory and a sweet version, and both turned out quite delicious. Here's how to make your own!
Sweet French Toast:
2 slices of bread (I used plain white, but you can use a number of different varieties like sourdough, French, or Challah).
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1-2 teaspoons sugar (or more)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Vegetable oil
Toppings:
Freshly sliced fruits (bananas, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries)
Powdered Sugar
Maple Syrup
Savory French Toast
2 slices of bread (I used plain white, but you can use a number of different varieties like sourdough, French, or Challah).
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
salt and black pepper to taste
red pepper flakes and a dash of chili powder (optional)
dried parsley flakes
Toppings:
Pesto, Ketchup, Sriracha Sauce, or other condiments
Black pepper
Parsley flakes
Method:
1. In a shallow bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar, and cinnamon. Whisk together well.
2. In a skillet, warm about 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil; be sure that it evenly coats the skillet surface.
3. Carefully dip the bread in the egg mix. Thoroughly soak all sides, but be quick so that the bread doesn't get too soggy and break apart.
4. Cook bread in skillet over medium heat. After about1 minute, flip over and cook the other side. Once both sides are crisp, the toast is done, but you can let it sit another 10-20 seconds to get it crispier.
5. Remove from heat, add desired toppings, and enjoy!
